Homestay families required for 2 weeks in Term 3.
We are lucky to have a number of international students participating in a short visit to Amesbury School for the first two weeks of Term 3. These students and their accompanying parent are needing a friendly and safe homestay to live in. We have single students and their parent, and also 2 siblings and their parent.Thanks for the families who are already involved, however, we need a few more. If you are able to be involved in this opportunity please read the details below and contact international@amesbury.school.nz.
If you're looking to pick up another language, experience another culture, encourage acceptance in your children, or simply get a new perspective on everyday life, then hosting international students might be the perfect choice for you!
Becoming a host family is also a great way to be more involved in our community, and support our school’s multiculturalism and internationalisation.
Specifically, Amesbury School will be hosting some short-term international students for the first 2 weeks of Term 3 (22 July -2 August) this year. Our international students are accompanied by one of their parents during the stay.
As a host, you will need to provide:
- a separate bedroom for child and parent to share
- a desk, chair, heater and light
- wifi
- 3 meals a day
Before being matched with students, families are vetted by our school and police.
There are also other opportunities at other times during the year to host. However, hosting a student and their parent for a short-term stay can be a good way to see if hosting suits your family.
If you'd like to welcome a student into your family and think you meet the above criteria, please feel free to email our International Co-ordinator via international@amesbury.school.nz
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask Zoe or Angela.
Many thanks!
