For Natural Parents

Student Links are experienced in assisting parents from many countries

We can assist you to find the right school and host family for their child.
We link you with school web sites and discuss with you your preferences.
We offer a programme which includes more intensive Pastoral Care if your child is under 18 years of age. (loosely called guardianship)
We work with schools in offering this service, but it is your choice to appoint us to this role giving more individual oversight and support to your child – helping them adjust to living in their ‘Kiwi’ home and making the most of the NZ school experience.
We keep in touch with natural parents and act on your behalf here in NZ.
We encourage you to visit NZ to confirm your choice of school and to meet school staff and the host family. Ben visits Thailand and China once a year to meet parents and prospective new students.

There are many benefits to this service if you read on.
