Comprehensive school insurance

If you are a State or State Integrated School you can choose to use the Ministry of Education Risk Management Scheme (RMS) for insurance of your school’s contents, liability and cyber risks.

In doing so you will join the majority of eligible schools in New Zealand who are already members. Costs are extremely competitive too – the levy (premium) for the RMS gets taken out of your school’s operational funding each quarter. The levy is currently $10.50 per student/per annum and that hasn’t changed in 10 years. Joining the scheme is as simple as completing the form available on the Ministry website or calling Marsh. For things not covered by the RMS, you want to ensure your school’s insurances are arranged correctly, to minimise any overlaps or gaps in cover. Here’s where Marsh education specialists can help.

Marsh’s Ancillary School insurance programme

Marsh is the appointed insurance broker to the Ministry of Education and also provide an ancillary school insurance programme, exclusively designed to wrap around the assets and risks which are not covered by the Ministry’s RMS. Marsh’s ancillary programme provides insurance cover for, amongst other things: • Board of trustees or community owned buildings, artificial turf, shade structures, Maori carvings, etc • Motor vehicles such as school vans and cars

• Powered boats and yachts • Domestic dwellings cover for houses that are the responsibility of the school to insure

• Travel (overseas cover for pupils and staff on educational or study trips) • Studentsafe International Pathway (travel and health insurance policy available exclusively for school and college students travelling to New

Zealand to study) • Cover for alterations to existing buildings or construction of new buildings not insured by the Ministry.

In summary

Having a combination of the Ministry’s RMS and Marsh ancillary insurances your Board can rest assured that critical risks have been identified and addressed and your total cost of risk has been minimised.

engineers | surveyors | planners

Our daily work includes obtaining Land Use Consents for rural and urban land, commercial and industrial land use activities. Additional to this we undertake topographical and building surveys using drone and scanning technology to create digital images for engineering and architectural design. Our team of engineers undertake design for infrastructure including earthworks, roading and drainage.

This process is often followed by either fee simple or unit title subdivision of land and buildings whether they be houses, duplexes, apartments, larger commercial or industrial structures. Where a proposed building infringes a District Plan rule, the project will require Land Use Consent in addition to a building consent. If a Land Use Consent is required, the building consent may still be approved. However, pursuant to Section 37 of the Building Act 2004, the building consent will not be issued until the appropriate Land Use Resource Consent is obtained. This requirement can significantly impact your building time and budget. The team at Cheal are all about strategy and resolving problems. For example, when a combined Land Use and subdivision consent is granted, the council will generally issue the two consents separately with conditions allowing the building to commence in compliance with the Land Use Consent without the need to start or complete the subdivision consent. Cheal’s experienced professionals will add value to your project by navigating statutory processes, developing strategies to resolve issues, co-ordinate and managing other technical experts while providing sound and reliable planning, surveying, civil engineering advice.
