Open your heart, open your home...

Well, now's your chance! Middleton Grange School is looking for long-term and short-term host families.

Hosting a student is an exciting and rewarding experience. We have several short-term groups each year and we are looking for more families to host these students, usually for about two-four weeks. You will receive remuneration for hosting.

Just a reminder that for short term students we require a bit extra in the form of bringing them to school and fetching after school, showing the students around Christchurch, doing some additional activities with them, and basically giving them such a wonderful experience that they never want to leave. We do pay at a higher rate for short term students.

We are also looking for families wanting to host long-term students from three months to a few years. These students become one of the family and often the relationship lasts long after the student has left school. Again, you will receive remuneration for hosting.

If this sounds like something you can do or if you would just like to find out a bit more, please contact Annie Xia on a.xia@middleton.school.nz or phone 021 293 7436 or text and Annie will get back to you.

Please note: the school needs to follow Government guidelines for all host families. These will be discussed with you in detail.
