While your student is on the tour, they probably won’t be texting or emailing their parents as often. This is usually because they’re out of cellphone coverage, or they’re having so much fun with their new found friends. In the unlikely event that something goes wrong, we will notify the school. Remember, no news is good news!

Best of all you can be certain your students will have the time of their lives, make lots of new friends, improving their self-confidence and their English. They’ll remember the tour as the best thing about their time in New Zealand!
