Summer Quad Exchange - Billeting Families Needed!

This March, St Hilda's are hosting the Summer Quad sport exchange. There have been a number of changes to the exchange this year, including having all 5 sister schools join both summer and winter tournaments. There has also been a change in sports, with Summer Quad now including cricket along with volleyball, tennis and touch.  

Due to Covid over the past few years, we have been unable to billet traveling participants, however for this summer, billeting is back. This is very exciting for the students and one of the positives of these exchanges. A chance to welcome and host students in our homes, make new friends and mingle with others. 

With the increase in numbers, both SHCS and Columba will help billet. Both schools will need to host around 60 students, so we are asking our school community to help.  

Your child does not need to be involved in the exchange to help host. If you are able to billet one or more students we would love to hear from you. An email has been sent out to parents this week, if you are unable to find the link please email rparker@shcs.school.nz
