Students must attend school and follow school policies with regard to absence, homework and exams. Students must demonstrate a determined effort at school and maintain \u201cC\u201d average or higher in all courses at the host school.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students must not travel independently and must comply with all Student Exchange Australia New Zealand and overseas host organisation release conditions and procedures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students must not drive or purchase any motorised vehicle (eg, car, van, ute, truck, motorcycle, moped, scooter, tractor, quad bike) which requires a license except when supervised by legally qualified instructors as part of the student\u2019s school experience.<br>USA: driving is permitted with an instructor of an official driver\u2019s education course, and only during class hours; Australia: driving \u2018quads\u2019 can be allowed if provided by the host family and additional insurance is arranged and must only be driven on private premises, not on public roads. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students must not smoke or use any prohibited substance during the program period. Students who indicate that they do not smoke on their application may not smoke during the program period. Be aware that in some countries or states it is forbidden by law for students under a certain age to smoke or possess tobacco. Possession, purchase or use of non-medically prescribed drugs is prohibited. Consumption of alcohol is prohibited. Exceptions regarding alcohol may be allowed ONLY in countries where local law allows it and ONLY when offered, and consumed, by and together with the host parents in the<br>host home and never to excess.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students must demonstrate a genuine commitment to assimilate with their host community and host family by following host family rules, participating in host family everyday life and by integrating into the host family community. Students must act respectfully and always keep their host family aware of their whereabouts. The use of phone and\/or other social media to contact home should be limited to help to avoid<br>homesickness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students may not participate in hazardous activities without prior written approval by natural parents\/guardians, host family and Student Exchange Australia New Zealand on the Hazardous Activities Release Form. Approval is required regardless of whether or not the hazardous activity is covered by insurance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The following actions\/behaviour are not permitted:<br>\u2022 Hitch-hiking,<br>\u2022 Shooting, possessing, or handling firearms or other weapons<br>\u2022 Sexting, that is, the sending or sharing of sexually explicit digital images, videos, text messages or emails.<br>\u2022 Becoming pregnant or causing somebody else\u2019s pregnancy.<br>\u2022 Life-changing decisions: marriage; changing sex or gender identity; changing religion; changing nationality; tattoos; piercings.<br>\u2022 Students are not allowed to take official employment outside their host homes in the host country except in Australia and New Zealand<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students may not publish or share any images or content on any social media platform including another person unless with the express permission of that person\/s.<br>Any student breaking the above rules will be returned to their home country immediately at the natural parent\u2019s expense. Be aware that local laws (in the host country) may differ to laws in the home country and that violations of the above rules may have serious consequences and\/or may result in the cancellation of a student\u2019s participation in the<br>program.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Rules are made to ensure the students\u2019 safety and successful completion of the program. Student Exchange Australia New Zealand takes responsibility to help the student to successfully complete their program, and therefore has processes for handling situations where students break the rules. The process may involve \u201cround table discussions\u201d, \u201cpositive action plan\u201d and a \u201cfinal  warning\u201d. It will usually involve the student, host family, local coordinator and overseas host organisation program staff. For appropriate rule breaches, it may highlight when a student is not following the rules, what remedial actions are required, as well as potential consequences if not remedied. Extremely serious rule breaches will of course not involve such a process, but will cause the  student to be immediately returned to their home country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natural parents\/guardians are advised not to contact the overseas host organisation unless approved by the sending organisation. To ensure proper management and control of a student\u2019s program, all contact from the natural parent\u2019s should be with Student Exchange Australia New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These rules must be read in conjunction with the Terms &amp; Conditions of participation, Medical and General Authority, Travel Authority, Insurance Policy and student and parent handbooks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As indicated above, Student Exchange Australia New Zealand and the overseas host organisations reserve the right to terminate the participation in the program of any student whose conduct is considered by them to be seriously in breach of program rules or detrimental to or incompatible with the program or where global, national or regional emergency circumstances, national, state or territory government directives, the student\u2019s physical or mental health circumstances, and\/or the student breaches the rules of the program as<br>highlighted above and in that event they may return that student home at the natural parent\/guardian\u2019s expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-primary-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-7-program-expenses\">7. Program Expenses<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Students must have at least AU$500\/NZ$650 available to them upon arrival in the destination country plus a minimum of AU$350\/NZ$450 per month to cover costs not included in the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-primary-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-8-passport-and-visa\">8.

Host Family<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Host family selection is solely at the discretion of the overseas host organisation of Student Exchange Australia New Zealand. Host families are generally non-paid volunteers. Placement of students with families is generally based upon material contained in the application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Student Exchange Australia New Zealand cannot guarantee placements in any specific area (unless a program with Location Options has been chosen), or with host families of specific criteria. Should a host family change be necessary because of the behaviour of the student, Student Exchange Australia New Zealand will make all reasonable endeavours to facilitate a replacement family. However, an administration charge may be levied and all transportation costs associated with the move will be the financial responsibility of the natural parent\/guardian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students must accept placement with a host family of any race, creed or colour. The student must live as a member of the host family, respect the rules and customs of the host family. Students can be placed in more than one host family during the duration of the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-primary-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-10-vaccinations\">10. Vaccinations<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Each country has its own requirements for vaccinations. Students should consult with their family physician, local health authority or Student Exchange Australia New Zealand for the latest requirements in the host country. The results of a recent medical examination and immunisation history are part of the application and may be required for the student\u2019s safety, visa application and school enrolment.  Some destinations require that outbound students are be fully vaccinated against COVID19.  More information can be found on each <a href=\"\/destinations\">Destination<\/a> page.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-primary-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-11-insurance\">11. Insurance<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Students are provided with personal accident and medical coverage, as well as travel, baggage and public liability insurance* while participating in the program. Natural parents\/guardians should review the policy to ensure the cover is adequate for the student. Some exclusions for special or pre-existing conditions apply. Natural parents\/guardians shall promptly pay all medical expenses incurred in respect of the student during the program. Insurance claims made in respect of medical expenses may only be made after natural parents\/guardians have made such payment. Natural parents\/guardians agree to promptly reimburse Student Exchange Australia New Zealand, its overseas affiliates and any host family for any medical expenses incurred by them in respect of the student (although Student Exchange Australia New Zealand, its overseas affiliates and any host family shall have no obligation to make any such expenditure.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-container-3 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-educatius-edu-button container\"><a rel=\"noopener\" class=\"btn btn-lg btn-primary\" href=\"\/important-program-information#h-aig-corporate-travel-insurance-lifeline-plus\" target=\"\" style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color:#009490\">Travel Insurance Policy<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-educatius-edu-button container\"><a rel=\"noopener\" class=\"btn btn-lg btn-primary\" href=\"\/important-program-information#h-aig-insurance-claim-form.pdf\" style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color:#009490\">Travel Insurance Claim Form<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<h5 class=\"has-primary-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-12-cancellation-policy\">12.

However, applicants are protected from price increase once the contract is signed and first instalment have been received by Student Exchange Australia New Zealand. A flight surcharge may be applied to all applications. We reserve the right to increase the flight surcharge if, at the time of making flight bookings, airlines are charging a higher amount for flight prices. If there is no increase made to flight prices then we will not charge a flight surcharge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-primary-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-14-scholarships-discounts\">14.

Only one scholarship or discount an be applied to the program fee unless the applicant chooses to host and is eligible for a hosting rebate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-primary-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-15-responsibility\">15. Responsibility<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Student Exchange Australia New Zealand, its overseas host organisations, partners, employees or coordinators act only as customers to the various companies, owners, or providers of other services. All tickets, coupons, and orders are issued subject to any and all terms under which such services are offered or provided. The passage contract in use by the airline concerned, when issued, shall constitute the sole contract between the airline and the purchaser of these programs. The issuance and acceptance of such tickets, coupons and orders shall be deemed to be consent to the additional condition that to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Student Exchange Australia New Zealand, its overseas host organisations, partners, employees or coordinators shall not in any way be liable for injury, damage, loss or delay howsoever caused which derives from acts or omissions of airlines, shipping companies, and transportation providers in general, hotels, restaurants or any other service providers. Nothing in these terms and conditions is intended to have the effect of contracting out of the provisions of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantee Act 1993 (if applicable).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-primary-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-16-program-alterations\">16. Program Alterations<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Student Exchange Australia New Zealand reserves the right to make such alterations or modifications to the program as may be deemed desirable by Student Exchange Australia New Zealand for the proper execution of the program. Student Exchange Australia New Zealand reserves the right to cancel any program and to decline to accept or retain any student at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-primary-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-17-law-of-the-contract\">17.

Travel Authority<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>We, the parents or legal guardians of the student, hereby authorise Student Exchange Australia New Zealand, its overseas representatives and the host family with whom our child may live, to make all decisions on our behalf concerning travel arrangements for our child for the duration of our child\u2019s participation in the Student Exchange Australia New Zealand program.<br>This authorisation is given for all occasions when our child is travelling and supervised by a person approved by a host parent, a representative of the overseas host organisation or by a representative of the school our child will be attending. We understand that our child may not travel unsupervised other than for local arrangements generally approved by one of the host parents. That is, independent day travel (except travel to and from school) without consent of the host family is not allowed, and never allowed outside the host<br>country. Independent overnight travel can be allowed, to visit a relative or friend of the student, who is over the age of 25 and is approved by the natural parents and authorised through a release form. Travel is allowed together with: host family; school representative; tour operator approved by receiving organisation; sports club or other youth organisation with adult supervision. Before exiting the host country with the host family, the student must always check their visa regulations\/conditions to ensure that the student will be allowed to re-enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Returning temporarily to the home country is discouraged, but can be allowed if applied for well in advance before the trip, with release form signed by  natural parents. Such trips cannot involve absence from school. (Exceptions apply for emergencies, e.g. death of a family member, or medical emergency that has to be treated in home country). Fees may apply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents and guardians are discouraged from visiting exchange students. If parents do visit, the visit should occur towards the end of the program or during major holidays (for a maximum of 7 days) and be approved in advance by both the sending and host organisations. The student is under no circumstances allowed to be absent from school. Host family is not obligated to provide accommodation to the natural parents\/guardians. For programs shorter than 3 months, natural parent\/guardian visits are not allowed during<br>the program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natural parents\/guardians agree to pay for any additional travel expenses incurred by Student Exchange Australia New Zealand as a result of an early return. The natural parents\/guardian and the student have read the above travel authority and agree that the student will only travel in accordance with these authorised travel arrangements whilst participating in the Student Exchange Australia New Zealand program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Student Exchange Australia New Zealand are required to book flights for students to arrive and depart at set times, as stipulated by the overseas partner. A further fee of $300 is required to make any additional changes to the flights for a requested earlier departure or for personal travel at the end of the program. This will be in addition to the airline cost to make any change to the flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-primary-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-19-medical-and-general-authority\">19. Medical and General Authority<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>We, the natural parents or legal guardians of the student grant Student Exchange Australia New Zealand, its employees and overseas partners, the school where the student may be assigned, and the host family or families with whom they may live permission at their discretion and, if necessary, at our cost to place our child in a hospital or in any other institution for any type of assistance or medical treatment or, if there is no hospital available, to place them under the care of a local medical doctor for their treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also grant Student Exchange Australia New Zealand, its employees and overseas representatives, the school where the student may be assigned, and the family or families with whom our child may live, permission to act as legal guardians and in \u2018loco parentis\u2019 for the student in any situation, whether medical or other, where they may at their discretion determine it necessary or appropriate to so act. This authority extends to giving permission for surgical operations or any other treatment.

We confirm that at the time of signing this document the student enjoys good health, that their health record enclosed herewith is true and complete, and that they may engage in any physical or sport activity. We also undertake to immediately notify Student Exchange Australia New Zealand of any material changes to the medical condition of the student. Any and all current, and historical, physical or psychological medical conditions must be communicated to the sending organisation in full prior to program start. If the student develops a serious physical or psychological medical condition during the program period, the student must be diagnosed by a doctor and returned home. If reasonably required by Student Exchange Australia New Zealand during the program we will authorise the release of medical information concerning the student to Student Exchange Australia New Zealand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We grant Student Exchange Australia New Zealand, its employees and overseas representatives and the host family or families with whom the student may live, permission to act on our behalf in anything relating to police matters involving the student or to possible representation of the student before the local courts or authorities.

I only went for 5 months but I wish it was a year. Don\u2019t let anything hold you back, don\u2019t waste your time and talk to as many people as you can. There was some people that I was too scared to talk to when I first got here, but closer to the end, I made really strong connections with them. I regret not talking to them earlier. Carry the mindset with you that you only live once and you might never see anyone again, so have confidence and remember how brave you are for coming here, so you can do anything.<\/p><p
