Welfare

Kuranui College takes its responsibility to look after its international students very seriously.

Students must arrange health insurance and travel insurance on personal possessions before leaving their home country. Health insurance covers any medical or dental treatment required during the time they are a student in the school. You will be responsible for the cost of any treatment required for pre-existing conditions and normal maintenance of health such as dental care and doctor’s visits.

Kuranui College has a full-time student counsellor to provide advice and guidance for students, available for consultation at any time during the school week.

The International Student Dean has responsibility for the progress and happiness of all our international students and maintains a close and caring oversight of your son or daughter.

The Principal is available for consultation by students and parents and maintains contact with parents to ensure a satisfactory educational experience.
