Welcome Nau mai haere mai ki matou kura. Welcome to Hope School.   We have spacious and attractive grounds with well maintained buildings, a fabulous playground, a solar heated swimming pool (for the summer months) and modern classrooms. Our school also has a multi purpose space that is used as a library, a space for small groups to work in and as a school hall. Hope Students are welcomed at Hope School from countries throughout the world. Hope School is a small country school with about 70-100 students. We are a 5 minute drive from the Richmond town centre. Why choose Hope School? Our school is well equipped with technology including a mix of computers, Chromebooks and iPads.  Our small size ensures all our staff know every child and their family personally. Our small size and our supportive community create a strong sense of family. We are located just two kilometers from the outskirts of Richmond on the corner of Paton Road and Aniseed Valley Road. We provide our international students and their families with a very personalised learning experience.
Heoi ano, Freya Hogarth PRINCIPAL Complaints & Disputes We will work hard to ensure your child and your family's have a very positive experience at Hope School. If something does go wrong, we have a thorough complaints policy that provides clear guidelines for the school community in raising and resolving concerns and complaints. We have procedures in place that we follow to ensure that complaints are handled appropriately. Our procedures enable us to: • maintain the best learning environment for our students • resolve matters of concern early, if possible • respond to feedback and concerns constructively • deal with complaints fairly, effectively, and promptly • take into account individual circumstances • maintain confidentiality • preserve school/community relationships and communication • monitor and record complaints and concerns about student safety. Most complaints can be resolved informally by discussions with the people concerned. Ask for our Guidelines for Informal Complaints. The school also has a procedure for making a formal complaint if informal discussion doesn't resolve the issue. For complaints concerning harassment, see our Harassment policy. For allegations of theft or fraud, see Theft and Fraud Prevention policy. All our policies can be viewed on our policy website http://hope.schooldocs.co.nz , to logon you will need to enter the username (hope) and password (paton). If your complaint is not resolved through our school's internal complaint procedures, you can contact the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA), who will process their complaint . | International Study at Hope School As part of your stay at Hope School we provide:
 Enrolment Applications International students are entitled to apply to enroll at Hope School if they are aged between 5 and 11 years. International families are encouraged to make contact with our school as soon as they think their child might attend our school since it will help our planning processes. This involves filling out a enrolment application form and returning it to the school office. If a place is available for your child at our school you will receive an "offer of place" letter to confirm your place. This is also a requirement for a student visa application, if you require a student visa. Students are entitled to enroll for up to three months on a standard visitor's visa. Enrolment Formalities  Once your child's place has been confirmed there will be some additional administration to be completed, this includes:
School Visits - school visits are also an option for international students before their enrolment begins. These can be arranged with the school after your arrival in New Zealand. |
