Experience another culture right at home!

We're looking forward to welcoming some new international students to Columba for the 2023 school year. If you think your family could be a warm and welcoming environment for one of our students to join then please let us know.

Hosting an International student is an opportunity for your family to establish life-long friendships, learn about other cultures and be an ambassador for New Zealand and Columba.

Our International students stay for both short-term and yearly periods, and homestay hosts will be paid $310 per week.

This is an exciting opportunity to offer a Kiwi-life experience to students from other cultures.

If you wish to find out more about what is expected of a host or any other information about becoming a Homestay Family please email Julie Elliotte or call 467 5188 ext 833.
