Nestled between a stunning natural harbour and tree-covered hills, Wellington is a small city with a big heart. It is the cultural capital of New Zealand, with art galleries, theatres, outdoor activities and hundreds of cafes and restaurants – all to be found in close proximity to the School.

Student Wellbeing

Supporting all students to reach their full potential

The School has support systems in place to assist students. A student support manager and a range of professionals are here to work with our students on optimising both their physical and mental health. This is about setting them up for successful and long careers.

We are very committed to the welfare of our students, and we love to see them thrive.

The New Zealand School of Dance has agreed to observe and be bound by the Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice 2021 published by the Minister of Education. The code is available from the New Zealand Qualifications Authority.
