WHY TOI OHOMAI 
IS A GREAT CHOICE
Rotorua and Tauranga are part of the Bay of Plenty region and are safe, friendly
places to live, study, and play. The cost of living is lower here than in bigger cities like
Wellington and Auckland. Economic and population growth has led to a noticeable
increase in construction and engineering opportunities. The Bay of Plenty region is
also renowned for its horticulture, with large kiwifruit orchards spanning the area which
provide ample opportunities for seasonal work.

WE PUT OUR STUDENTS FIRST INDUSTRY CONNECTIONS

We’ve been educating international students
for more than 30 years and understand the
unique challenges you face. Choosing to study
in a foreign country is a great opportunity to
experience another culture. We'll make the
transition easier for you.
Our International Centres consist of staff from
all over the globe who understand your needs
better than anyone. Because of this, we're well
equipped to help you achieve your study goals
while enjoying and experiencing the great
New Zealand culture.
One of the most common compliments we
receive from students is the caring, attentive
attitude of our tutors - they genuinely want
to see you succeed.
STUDENT GROUPS & FUN STUFF
Orientation Week (O’ Week) is held at the
beginning of each trimester and is filled with
fun events, live music, free food, and fiercely
contested class challenges so you can really
get to know your classmates. These events
also include an informative academic induction,
which is an important part of your student
experience.
Our Student Experience team also organises
entertaining events throughout the year to
make sure you have fun while you’re with us!
YOUR CULTURE IS IMPORTANT TO US
Our campuses are multicultural and you will
meet staff and students from all over the world.
We often celebrate different cultures through
events and you will have many opportunities to
experience different ways of life. We would love
you to contribute to this diversity by choosing to
study at Toi Ohomai.
Toi Ohomai works closely with industry to
ensure our students are employable and have
job-related aptitudes, attitudes and behaviour.
We offer:
•• many programmes with dedicated work
placements and internships to help you make
valuable connections with employers; and
•• hands-on, practical learning experiences
which will make you more employable
IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISH
You will have daily opportunities to engage with
New Zealanders. These conversations will help
you improve your English and you will get to
know lots of new people.
LEARN ABOUT KIWIANA
Each country has their own lingo, or slang words
or phrases. New Zealanders, often referred to
as “Kiwis”, are no different. Very soon you will
be grabbing your jandals and bringing a plate
(including a national favourite, pavlova) when you
visit mates. You will be knackered from all your
study, running to the dairy for a snack, skulling
a drink, and enjoying a sweet-as life. But, no
worries, you will be fluent in Kiwi lingo
in no time.

•• Students’ Association – Student Pulse

Philip Lopez had a top-level role as a dean at a university in the

“I find working with my colleagues exciting too! Our relationship spans more than just being workmates
– we have established a family over here.”
Philip says the Toi Ohomai course helped him to take command of his life, giving him the confidence
to make crucial decisions.
“It has forced me to appreciate that I have the power to change my life for the better. Moreover,
this course has provided me with a lot of friends that actually helped me find this job and acted as
mentors for me to achieve success.”

Graduate Profile
Having grown up in China, with English as a second language, Jasmine Li was initially
worried that she might not graduate from her Bachelor of Applied Management
programme. But with support and guidance from each of her Toi Ohomai tutors,
Jasmine was able to overcome her challenges and succeed.

“The best part was the tutors. Sometimes I wouldn’t know how to do the assignments
so I’d ask their advice. They were always so nice and helpful and I never felt like I was
annoying them.”

After graduating, Jasmine began working as a marketing specialist at Urban Print,

where she has continued to prosper as the business expands.

PREPARATION AND
ARRIVAL IN NEW ZEALAND
We look forward to your arrival and assisting you to ensure an enjoyable and successful
stay. We have compiled the following information to help you prepare for your trip.

PRE-DEPARTURE ACCIDENT INSURANCE

To prepare for your new life in New Zealand,
please read our International Pre-departure
Handbook at toiohomai.ac.nz/locations/life-new-
zealand. Topics include immigration and visa
information, accommodation, important policies,
insurance, and detailed arrival information.
The Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC)
provides accident insurance for all temporary
visitors to New Zealand, but you may still be
required to pay for some or all other medical and
related costs. More details are available at
www.acc.co.nz.

If you have any questions, please contact
the International Centre via email on
international.enquiries@toiohomai.ac.nz.
ARRIVING IN NEW ZEALAND
If requested in advance, Toi Ohomai can arrange
to have you picked up from Auckland, Rotorua or
Tauranga airport. The International Centre staff
will also meet you at your orientation day and will
provide all the information you’ll need to begin
your study and settle into Toi Ohomai at Rotorua
or Tauranga. You will be welcomed to
Toi Ohomai with a pōhiri (traditional Māori
welcome ceremony).
MONEY
• travel with only a small amount of cash
• bring traveller’s cheques and a credit card to
cover your initial expenses
• open a New Zealand bank account as soon
as possible after your arrival
MEDICAL & TRAVEL INSURANCE
International students must have appropriate
and current medical and travel insurance while
in New Zealand. The cost of medical and travel
insurance is less than $790 per year. Uni-Care is
our preferred insurance provider. It is important
to understand the inclusions stated in the
New Zealand Student Plan found at:
www.uni-care.org
EMPLOYMENT
These websites can be helpful in finding
employment while in New Zealand:
• www.seek.co.nz
• www.trademe.co.nz
• www.sjs.co.nz (Student Job Search)

IMMIGRATION & STUDENT VISAS

If you’re going to study in New Zealand for
more than 12 weeks, you’ll need to apply
for a student visa. Check out www.immigration.
govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/options/study.

ELIGIBILITY FOR HEALTH SERVICES

Most international students are not entitled to
subsidised health services. If you receive medical
treatment while in New Zealand, you may be
required to pay the full costs of that treatment.
More details are available through the Ministry of
Health at www.health.govt.nz.

ACCOMMODATION
OPTIONS
Toi Ohomai can help arrange accommodation
while you are here for your studies.

HALL OF RESIDENCE (ROTORUA)

Tangatarua Hall of Residence, a hostel owned
by Toi Ohomai, is located next to Mokoia Campus
in Rotorua. Situated in a park-like setting with
mature landscaping and open spaces, the hall
offers our students an attractive and affordable
place to live just a short walking distance to the
campus.

SHARED ACCOMMODATION (TAURANGA)

Toi Ohomai offers rental houses close to
Windermere Campus in Tauranga. The bedrooms
are lockable and furnished. Living areas and
bathrooms are shared with at least one other
student. The houses contain essential cooking
utensils, crockery and appliances, washing
machine, fridge/freezer, and a television.

HOMESTAY
We recommend living in a homestay option,
especially if you are studying English and want
to be able to practise your English with your
host family. The family environment can also
ease the adjustment of living in a new country
as you experience different food, language, and
customs. We recommend you commit to staying
at least one month with your homestay family
while you adjust to life in Rotorua or Tauranga
and while you and your homestay family adjust
to each other.

The homestay fee of NZ$195-250 per week

includes your own room, three meals a day,
power and laundry facilities. This fee may also
include internet access.

20 TOI OHOMAI 2019 INTERNATIONAL PROSPECTUS

FLATTING (SHARING A HOUSE)
If you plan to live in a rented house or apartment
with one or more people, we call that “flatting”.
You and your flatmates will be responsible for
finding your own furniture, bedding, cooking
utensils, and other household necessities. You
can find all of these new items at shops in town
or, to keep costs down, you can buy many things
from second-hand shops.
You will need to share the cost of power
and other bills, cook your meals, do your
own laundry and your share of household
cleaning, and abide by the rental agreement.
It can take some time to find a flat to rent
and you may need to stay in temporary
accommodation for the first two to four weeks
after arriving in New Zealand. This is where a
hall of residence, shared accommodation, or
homestay option would be desirable.
ACCOMMODATION FOR FAMILIES
Most of the accommodation providers
Toi Ohomai works with are set up to host
individual students only; few can accept a
family or couple.
If you plan to bring your family, we strongly
recommend that you come to New Zealand
on your own first and arrive a couple of weeks
before our orientation programme. Arriving early
will give you time to look for long-term family
accommodation in the private housing market.
If your family comes with you, you may need
to stay in a hotel or motel while you try to
find long-term accommodation. This can be
very expensive.
BASIC EXPENSES
• rents for students in our area range from
NZD$150-220* per week; this includes power
and water
• groceries for one person costs approximately
NZD$70-120* per week
• please also allow for general expenses of
NZD$40-$100* per week

*These figures are approximate and may vary
