New Zealand privacy laws say that the Centre can only give information about learners to other people if learners agree. Sometimes the Centre does need to discuss learners' attendance, work, progress and attitudes with other people. Learners must agree that the Centre may decide, when it is necessary and appropriate, to discuss these matters with: centre staff and counsellors; doctors or similar; government agencies; parents or other people paying for the course; agents; homestay families; other schools; universities etc.

The accommodation arrangement fee will be charged for home stays.Other forms of accommodation cannot be arranged directly through Lake Wanaka Language Centre but we have assessed the providers on our websites to ensure they provide industry standard level of service.We can introduce you to the owner but all matters relating to the tenancy and to payment of rent/fees are entirely between learners and owner.
Lake Wanaka Language Centre does not accept liability for any incidents that happen outside the school.However, Lake Wanaka Language Centre, in line with the Code of Practice, will only book learners with, or recommend, accommodation providers that have been assessed for quality management and risk management policies and that meet their industry standard.
Self assessment—Learners are asked to assess their English using the Europass Language Portfolio (ELP) at http://europass.cedefop.eu.int/.You can tell us your ability with English reading, writing, listening and speaking.
It is also part of the school’s philosophy to recognize all of your English language experiences.Please include them all in your ELP
An assessment will be held in class each Friday. This assessment will be task based.
Learners will be given an “achieved” or “not achieved” mark.If you get a “not achieved” you can discuss this with your tutor.You can also complete out-of-class extension exercises at anytime to improve your grade.You need a 70% achieved outcome to move from one level to the next (e.g. B1 to B2).
When you leave Lake Wanaka Language Centre you should recreate your ELP passport document (http://europass.cedefop.eu.int/) and add your Lake Wanaka Language Centre results.

It is a very goof idea to get health insurance for your stay in New Zealand.
Most international students are not entitled to publicly funded health services while in New Zealand. If you receive medical treatment during your visit, you may be liable for the full costs of that treatment. Full details on entitlements to publicly-funded health services are available through the Ministry of Health, and can be viewed on their website at http://www.moh.govt.nz.
The Accident Compensation Corporation provides accident insurance for all New Zealand citizens, residents and temporary visitors to New Zealand, but you may still be liable for all other medical and related costs. Further information can be viewed on the ACC website at http://www.acc.co.nz.
International students must have appropriate and current medical and travel insurance while studying in New Zealand.
If you are driving a car in New Zealand, you should also get insurance, at least that which covers damage to other cars if you are in an accident. This type of insurance is called “third party insurance”.
Many of the activities you can do in Wanaka can involve some risk.Lake Wanaka Language Centre does not accept liability for any incidents that happen outside the school.However, Lake Wanaka Language Centre, in line with the Code of Practice, will only book learners with, or recommend, activity providers that have been assessed for quality management and risk management policies and that meet their industry standard.
Evidence of insurance must be presented before the start of your course.Alternatively, we can arrange it for you.
