facts about New ZealandlifestyleLife in New Zealand is casual and relaxed.

In the main centres it is cosmopolitan

with an emphasis on sport and the arts.

Restaurants and cafés feature national

and international cuisine accompanied

by excellent New Zealand wines.

New Zealanders are friendly people,

keen to explore the world and

welcome visitors to experience their

country. Tourism and hospitality are

growing industries.

While high-rise apartment living is

increasing in the main cities, single

houses on separate plots of land

are more common. New Zealand

is a parliamentary democracy with

government elections every three

years, the most recent in 2008. A

proportional system of representation

is used.

The dollar is the currency in New

Zealand. The rate of exchange with

other currencies is variable. The

metric system is used for weights

and measures.

Shopping hours are 9am-5pm

Monday to Friday. In the weekend,

shopping hours are 10am-5pm.

Banks are open 9am-4.30pm

Monday to Friday.

Christianity is the main religion but

migrants have brought their own

faiths and practising groups can be

found throughout the country.

geographyNew Zealand lies in the far southwest of the Pacifi c

Ocean, nearly 2,000 kilometres from its nearest

neighbour, Australia. Similar in size to Japan or the

British Isles, New Zealand occupies a land area of

some 270,500 square kilometres. Three quarters

of the population lives in the North Island. New

Zealand has two offi cial languages, English and

Maori. English is the main language.

New Zealand’s landscape is dominated by

mountain ranges and countryside. Cook Strait

separates the two main islands of New Zealand,

the North Island and the South Island. Both islands

have large, fertile coastal plains divided by hills

and mountain ranges. To add to the variety of the

South Island scenery, there are fi ords, glaciers

and lakes, and coastal plains of Canterbury and

Southland, and of course, the beautiful Southern

Alps. In the North Island, there is New Zealand’s

largest lake, Lake Taupo, and most of the country’s

active volcanoes - Ruapehu, Ngaurahoe, Tongariro

and Taranaki. These are all usually quiet, although

Mount Ruapehu erupted in 1995 and 1996. Hot

springs, geysers and mud pools are found in Taupo

and Rotorua.

There are spectacular mountainous regions for some

of the best skiing in the world, miles of coastlines

with incredible beaches for surfi ng and swimming,

and tramping trails throughout the country.

climateNew Zealand enjoys a temperate climate with four

distinct seasons. The north of the North Island is

subtropical and mild most of the year; the South

Island is cold in winter (June – September) but

mild in summer (December – March).The average

temperature ranges from 9-25 Celsius with more

than 2,000 hours of sunshine in a year. Rainfall can

occur any time of the year but tends to be higher

in winter. Snow regularly falls in the mountains but

seldom in the populated areas around the coast.

The New Zealand climate is variable all year being

neither very cold nor very hot. Most New Zealand

homes do not have central heating so you will need

to bring some warmer clothes to wear at home.

Jackets, coats and layered clothing are common.

Even indoors a warm jersey may be needed.

population New Zealand is lightly populated with approximately 4.25 million

people. 80% are of European ancestry - mostly from Britain, and

other European countries. Many Chinese and Indians have also

lived in New Zealand for generations. Most live in the North Island.

Auckland is the largest city with over 1 million people. Wellington is

the capital city and the next largest centre of population. In the South

Island, Christchurch and Dunedin are the main cities.

good livingStudents coming to SBG quickly learn new skills, like cooking,

swimming, beach volleyball, barbecuing. The new students are

greeted by the more advanced students, and are shown how to

get the best deals on food, accommodation, and other essential

good learningStudents work on their programmes in roomy, comfortable open-

plan offi ce spaces and classrooms. The fl exible learning, and

individualised teaching programmes mean that students can fi t their

part-time work in around their study. Experienced tutors help all

good jobsStudents at SBG have found a variety of jobs in retail outlets, on

the railways, in fast-food outlets, service stations, and commission

SBG students have found a job within 2-6 weeks of arriving in New

Zealand.

great outcomesRitesh, who came to SBG through Oasis Consultants, has now

completed his qualifi cation in Auckland, and has secured a promotion

and full-time employment in Dunedin as an SSC (Supervising

Sales Contractor). He gets a car and assistance with travel and

accommodation in Dunedin. As Ritesh had become the top sales

person for Vodafone in Auckland, his boss was very keen for him to

take on additional responsibilities so offered him a great package to

shift to Dunedin. We are all very proud of the achievements, and the

example Ritesh has set to all our other students through his hard

work and positive attitude.

in Part 6 of the Ministry of Education Code of Practice for the Pastoral

Care of International Students.

SBG, does not require students to stay in a particular form of

accommodation (e.g. hostel, backpacker, homestay, fl at), while they are

studying. However, we will offer you a range of accommodation options

from budget to more luxurious, and book you into the place of your choice

for your fi rst four weeks in New Zealand*. This should give you time

to look around and choose a more long-term accommodation option.

Alternatively, you may prefer to arrange your own accommodation from

part-time work

We’ll help you with CV preparation and interview skills to apply for

part-time jobs. Students can work up to 20 hours per week. The New

Zealand minimum wage is $12.75 per hour.

living costs

It is important to bring enough money for living when you come to

things, like a game of golf, are very cheap. We recommend that you

allow around NZ$200.00 per week for living costs.

Students are allowed to work up to 20

hours a week if they are enrolled in a full

medical and travel insurance

Under the rules of the Code, International students must have

appropriate current medical and travel insurance while studying

in New Zealand. This is because medical costs in New Zealand

are very high and SBG does not cover students individually.

Medical and travel insurance covers the cost of staying in

hospital, visits to the doctor, urgent medical treatment and

medicine, and sometimes emergency dental treatment. For

treatment of a cold, fl u or other common health problems, you

will usually visit the local doctor (sometimes called a general

practitioner or GP).

If you need assistance after hours, you can visit a local emergency

clinic or hospital.

Average Medical Insurance Costs: 12 Months NZ$456. SBG can

arrange this for you.

“After fi nishing my Bachelors in Information Technology from India, I planned to enter in the Corporate World. Though I was graduated in IT, I did not have knowledge about any business and any organisation structure. I realised that just getting theoretical knowledge is not enough to prove best amongst all but one needs to know about what an organisation is within which he/she will work and what are various marketing tactics in order to utilise your talents for maximum productivity for that organisation. Then I heard about SBG (School of Business and Government) and got impressed by the courses offered by the organisation. I thought whatever our profession is, in every case we have to work within an organisation and deal with the market.

So I decided to join this prestigious institute. I did 661 Diploma in Management (6 months in India & 6 months in New Zealand) from SBG. Though I was in India, but I got full assistance of the tutors from SBG which helped me in fi nishing my course early and then got my visa in just 15 days. After coming to New Zealand, I got to know about its true beauty. The profi ciency of the tutors especially Mr Mike Fermanis and the

“I am Harsimran Singh, student of 661 Diploma in Management at SBG (School of Business and Government). When I made plan for my further studies, I went through each and every aspect of all the colleges’ website in New Zealand. Somehow I saw the details and courses which SBG College was offering. I went through every detail of all the courses of the college and in the end I found the most suitable and outstanding offer, the 661 option course. This option is to study 6 months in India and 6 months in New Zealand. I felt it to be the best because in this the student has to complete half of the study in their own country, by living with their own people. Same as in my case, being at my home country, I got full assistance from the staff of SBG and I fi nished my study of India without any problem. At SBG, I had the privilege to be taught by tutors, who really cared about my academic progress, and I’ve benefi tted from this immensely.

SBG members like Mr. Grant Hodgson and Mrs. Christine Roberts and everyone else helped me achieve well results in my studies. After completing my course I truly realised what was missing in me before. I was more confi dent and ready to face all the challenges with best of my talents.

SBG gave me support and knowledge to adapt to life in a new country. People of New Zealand are so cooperative and helpful and it adds more beauty to the country. After completing my course, I felt that I have got the understanding of market and an organisation and now I am totally ready to enter in business world. And now I work as an IT support with an organisation in Auckland, New Zealand. I thank SBG to make me learn how to work smarter with being a hard worker.

SBG provides a happy, caring and supportive environment that allows each student to reach the pinnacle of their capabilities. If you have the will, SBG has the way!”

NALINI JISHTU

Moreover, after coming to New Zealand, I did not have to work part time for a long period of time as I fi nished my studies in just 6 months and started doing Full time work in my own profession. Now I earn double money than I used to earn during the period of studies.

After doing Hotel Management from India, I did Management course from SBG, which really refi ned my skills and talents and all this has helped me getting a job which is really a good start for my career.

Studying in SBG I have cultivated good study habits and also further enriched my attitudes towards academic achievement which compel me towards attaining higher goals and taught me to use the best of my talents in everything I do.”
