Wanted : caring, fun-loving host families for our female Japanese high school students

Lisa from Merivale

If you have a spare room, are keen to share NZ culture, learn about Japanese culture and earn some extra money, then hosting could be a good option for you. Our female, Japanese high school students are coming to Christchurch next April and we are looking for some welcoming host families who are willing to become their kiwi family for a year.
Southern Cross Language Institute is a well-established language school in Merivale and offers excellent host family support and competitive board rates.
To find out how you can start your hosting experience, please contact Lisa at 022 010 5288 or email lisa@scli.co.nz

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
