Interested in becoming a homestay family?
Our Homestay families accept students from a range of other countries into their home and family for anywhere from 3 months to several years.
Our Homestay families provide the student with support for their academic study and general well-being as well as show sensitivity to the difficulties the students may facing as they adjust to an English language environment, especially around different lifestyle, new food and homesickness.
The international students gain a true Australian experience within these families as they are immersed in the day-to-day family life experiences.
The School International Student Coordinator and Homestay Coordinator meet with the homestay families both formally and informally to ensure regular contact and clarity in expectations.
A homestay host provides:- A clean, safe & friendly home
- A private bedroom with a desk & suitable storage place
- Three nutritious meals per day
- Assistance to access transport to and from school and for school-related activites
| What do homestay hosts receive?- A fortnightly payment to cover the student's meals and homestay expenses
- Lifelong international friendships and cultural enrichment
- Training and on-going support from our school
