Paraparaumu College is looking for homestays for International Students
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

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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
