Host Families Wanted for 2023
With the borders opening again for international visitors, we are looking for families to host international students in 2023.
Hosting an international student can provide everybody in the household with a taste of a new culture and can be a fun and rewarding experience. Homestay families are valuable in providing a genuine New Zealand experience for their guest student, conversational English practice, as well as caring support.
In return for your hospitality, you will receive a financial contribution ($310 per week) towards the food, laundry, internet and heating costs, etc. involved in adding an extra person to your family.
If you are interested in registering to become a homestay family, would like to receive more information, or know someone who is interested in hosting, please contact the International Student Co-ordinator, Irja Haefliger (international@raphaelhouse.school.nz).
