  2. If you are unsatisfied you may take your complaint to the Deputy Principal, Wellbeing. You can have a support person with you. 
  3. If you are unsatisfied you can take your complaint to the Principal. You can have a support person with you. 

If your concerns are not resolved by the internal grievance procedures, you can contact the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA), who will process your complaint. 

NZQA will be the first point of contact for all complaints about the Code and will investigate complaints about suspected breaches of the Code. 

NZQA also has the authority to apply sanctions to schools where breaches are found to have occurred.

Raising a complaint with NZQA will not adversely affect your immigration status.
