Homestays
Arrangements
Costs for 2010 are $220 a week, a total cost of $10,120
Homestays are an important part of your new life in NZ and we work hard to make your time happy. We have a homestay co-ordinator who will find you a nice home.
- If you want to leave a homestay that we arrange, you must give 2 weeks notice.
- If you want to keep the same home over summer, the fee is $50 a week to hold the room.
All students are supervised by school homestay staff, and all homestays undergo Police checks. (This policy is the same whether the school provides you with a homestay or students live with family friends or relatives).
- All students must live within a reasonable distance of the school’s zone.
- All students must inform the school of any changes in caregiver arrangements immediately.
- Under no circumstances can students find accommodation through advertisements or go flatting.
Parental Representation/Guardian
All students need a parental representative while studying in our school. This can be a family member, a friend of the family or an official guardian such as an agent or employee of a guardianship company. We have a guardianship company which we recommend and application forms can be posted.
This nominated representative is necessary in time of emergency to give medical permission, support students in legal matters and be a point of contact with the school in guidance and disciplinary matters.
