Local Guardian for International Boarding Students

International Students who are boarding at Sacred Heart College Hostel, regardless of their age at the time of enrolment, must have a local guardian in Auckland to provide extra support for the student. Normally a guardian is a relative or family friend who can communicate in English and the native language of the student. The Guardian’s role is also to provide temporary accommodation when the hostel is closed or due to illness.

Professional guardianship can be organised by the International Department at the parents’ own cost and charged along with other school fees. The appointment of a guardian is subject to the approval of the College.

As part of the application process for Boarding at Sacred Heart College, local guardians are required to complete a Guardianship Agreement.
