For New Zealand schools

Host well-prepared short-term students with minimal extra admin

EduLink New Zealand helps schools host short-term students from China without overwhelming your admin team. We manage family communication, pre-screen documentation, and set clear expectations so your staff can focus on teaching and student wellbeing.

  • Only recommend students and groups that fit your year levels and capacity.
  • Provide a bilingual bridge for information, expectations, and programme details.
  • Respect your policies and processes and help families understand and follow them.

Stable partnership · Clear expectations · Manageable workload

We understand your concerns

Short-term international students can enrich your school community, but they can also add complexity.

Typical challenges

  • Short-term students can increase administrative workload and coordination.
  • Families may have unclear or unrealistic expectations.
  • Language barriers make it easy for information to be misunderstood.
  • Limited visibility of student background and guardianship arrangements.
  • Payments, refunds, and timing require careful coordination.

How EduLink supports your school

  • Only recommend students and groups that match your structure and capacity.
  • Act as a bilingual communication bridge and manage expectations clearly.
  • Assist with collecting and organising student information and documentation.
  • Help define programme rules and schedules and communicate them to families.
  • Coordinate payment and refund communication through a single channel.

We are interested in long-term, repeatable partnerships rather than one-off tour groups, so your feedback and experience matter a lot.

Example partnership models

Flexible structures that can be adapted to your existing international programme.

Placement

4–10 week classroom placements

Short-term students join existing classes for 4–10 weeks with agreed classroom support and participation in school activities, without disrupting your core programmes.

Family visits

Small family-based visit groups

Host small groups where parents stay in New Zealand and travel locally. EduLink handles family communication and expectations so school routines stay predictable.

Long-term

Fixed-term partnership programmes

Agree on specific time windows (for example, aligned with Chinese holidays). EduLink screens students and designs study visit packages, while your school provides a stable framework.

Partnership process

A clear process so everyone knows what happens next.

1
Initial conversation

Learn about your year levels, capacity, preferred timings, and policy boundaries.

2
Define a framework

Agree on programme format (length, class types, support, and key constraints).

3
Student screening

EduLink pre-screens students and provides a complete information pack for your review.

4
Confirmation & family briefing

Confirm placements and timetable; EduLink explains expectations and rules to families in both languages.

5
On-programme support

Maintain open channels during the visit and help resolve any communication issues.

6
Review & refine

After the programme, review outcomes together and refine for future cohorts.
