Short-term host families for Japanese girls from Keio Girls Senior High School wanted for February 2025

Six students from Keio Girls High School will be joining us again this February for a three-week exchange! These students will arrive on Saturday 22nd February and return to Japan on Friday 14th March. We are looking for kind, enthusiastic and caring families to host the students during their stay.

Attached is a homestay letter from one of the girls, Eri, introducing herself.

Basic requirements include providing the students with meals, packed lunches, an individual bedroom with a bed, desk and a wardrobe. Weekend activities and sightseeing trips are arranged by the school for the students.

You will receive $360 per week for hosting an international student and ongoing support from our International Department throughout the student's stay. A police vetting form will need to be completed for all family members over the age of 18 living in the home.

If you are interested and would like to find out more about hosting international students, please contact Cher Shi at cshi@columbacollege.school.nz.
