Students will be provided with quality homestay accommodation during their stay in New Zealand and their accommodation will be closely monitored by school staff. The school's Homestay Coordinator is responsible for placing students in suitable accommodation in the area where our school is located and endeavours to meet the needs of both the student and the homestay carer. If a student does not require homestay, they must live with a parent or a designated carer approved by the school. Police checks will be carried out on all family members over the age of 18.
