Paraparaumu College is looking for homestays for International Students

Jacqui from Paraparaumu Beach

Paraparaumu College is looking for homestays for International students for 2024.
Homestays come in all shapes and sizes. If you have a spare bedroom or 2, we would love to hear from you.
We are currently looking for homestays, for both short term and long term students.

Why host?
Hosting a student is an enriching experience for both families and students. You’ll experience a true cultural exchange, sharing knowledge of your culture whilst learning about the many different cultures represented by our students. Many of our host families build lasting relationships with their students

What is expected from host families?
Involve their student in their life, treat them as a member of the family.

Be caring and understanding, patient but able to set boundaries

Show their students how to get to and from school (e.g. where the bus stop is, how to find the bus schedule, how to walk to school).

Provide three meals a day and snacks (including a packed lunch during the school week).

Provide a furnished bedroom

Provide bed linen (sheets, pillow, and blankets) and towels

What we provide
The International Department provides you with ongoing advice and support.

Homestay families receive $301 per week.

For more information about hosting a student please email international@pc.school.nz
