Homestay

International students may choose to live with a host family to allow them to fully experience our Kiwi lifestyle within a caring and supportive environment. All our homestay families are carefully selected and visited regularly to ensure they meet the high standards required. Student safety and happiness while in a homestay are a priority and with all host families being police checked

 

Living with a relative or close friend

Arranged by the student’s family, this must meet the requirements of the Code of Practice. The adult taking responsibility for the student will meet with the International Director and maintain regular contact with her. The student’s parents will sign an agreement indicating that this person has the authority to make decisions on their behalf regarding the student’s welfare in New Zealand.

Please Note: All international students must live in accommodation approved by the School.  No student will be permitted to live in a flat.
