- really experience the ‘kiwi’ way of life
- make friends and settle in quickly
- improve your English skills
Homestay families:
- are carefully selected by us
- are subject to all the requirements of New Zealand law,
- including police checks
- provide a caring home environment
- are interested in your welfare
- will be involved in your academic progress
- will keep in regular contact with staff at school
- will include you as one of their family
provide you with your own room and study area
