For senior academic courses, students must satisfy the school's English Language requirements. Students may be required to show that they are sufficiently proficient in English to undertake their proposed course of study. All students must supply appropriate educational qualifications and reports from their school, which satisfy both New Zealand and Golden Bay High School standards and requirements. The student must also supply a personal recommendation from their school. Each application is individually considered. If a student wishes to withdraw from a course then this must have the approval of the International Director.
