Paraparaumu College is excited to be welcoming International Students back!
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
Provide wifi
What we provide
The International Department provides you with ongoing advice and support.
Homestay families are paid a weekly fee of $294.
For more information about hosting a student please email international@pc.school.nz

We’re installing a larger stormwater pipe in stages from Iver Trask Place to part way along Amohia Street. This is part of our plan to reduce flooding in the Amohia and Ruahine street catchment areas, and help prepare our district to live with more water due to climate change.
Beginning in Iver Trask Place, work will progress from the Wharemaukū Stream outfall to Rimu Road, then along towards Kāpiti Road and Amohia Street.
Traffic management will be in place around the work area. For more information, visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

Remember, driving on the beach is restricted to a few areas and for things like launching and retrieving boats. It's not a motorway out there, so please stick to the speed restrictions, and leave the motorbike at home!
It's important we all stick to the rules so everyone stays safe. Council staff have been out and about this summer to chat with beachgoers and, where necessary, issue tickets to drivers parked where they shouldn't be.
There's loads of information about our beaches and how to access them without a car – including the nearly 100 pedestrian access ways along the coast – on our website.
Visit kapiticoast.govt.nz/beaches to find out more.
Did you know about our free mobile app Antenno? It sends you Council-related notifications about the places and things you care about – like major water outages, roadworks, closures, Council events, and more.
To learn more about Antenno and download the app, visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
