Homestays

Becoming a homestay family can be a very fulfilling experience for all family members as it provides a variety of opportunities to learn about a new culture.

As a local family hosting an international student, you will have the chance to:

• learn about other cultures, customs and traditions
• make lifelong friendships with your student and their family
• participate in activities and meet other host families

When you host an international student, they will become a member of your family.  Your student will be a long way from home and in your care.  You will be expected to provide them with a safe, supportive and welcoming home environment.  As a homestay family, you will be required to:

• provide a furnished bedroom inside the family home
• prove all meals
• provide internet access
• provide the use of facilities
• provide support to your student in their studies
• monitor your student's health and wellbeing
• accept duty of care for your student outside of school hours
• negotiate reasonable expectations of behaviour inside and outside of the home

If you are a local family interested in hosting an international student, contact the school on 8391 1599.
