Student Responsibilities

Responsibilities

  • You are responsible for your own learning and skill development throughout your programme of study. This includes being prepared for class and meeting any home study requirements that are asked of you and to catch up on any work missed due to absenteeism;
  • It is your responsibility to ensure you receive ALL the materials supplied. Unless expressed otherwise all programme and training materials provided to you remain your property and responsibility. Replacement due to loss or misplacement is your responsibility and will be at your cost;
  • You will take responsibility for equipment supplied and will return it and/or pay for any damage or loss to this equipment while it is in your possession. Should you fail to return supplied equipment, this will be considered as theft, resulting in instant dismissal. The offence will also be reported to the police for investigation;
  • You have a responsibility to follow due process and to raise issues of concern you have with your programme of study, other learners or an EmployNZ staff member(s), rather than solving the problem by taking matters into your own hands.
  • It is your responsibility to advise your tutor of any special medical condition and any specific medication or treatment for those conditions.

Dress, personal hygiene and grooming standards

EmployNZ expects you to be well groomed, to maintain personal hygiene and to wear neat, tidy, sensible clothes and shoes at all times. Appropriate grooming and attire may vary dependent on the context of programme you are enrolled on and/or the activity you are participating in at any given time. Your tutor will inform you of the dress standard for your programme, any Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) requirements and any inhouse/class rules pertaining to grooming and dress standards.

Irrespective of (above) at no times is it considered appropriate to attend class or a field trip:

  • wearing clothing with offensive images, writing or logos;
  • wearing revealing or provocative clothing;
  • displaying gang insignia. This means the wearing of any item of clothing which commonly denotes membership of, an affiliation with, or support for a gang. Note: this does not include tattoos.
