International students come for different lengths of time and we are currently looking for host families for 2025.

Some of our international students will be travelling with a parent, so please let us know if you can accommodate an adult as well. The weekly homestay fee for hosting Internationals is $350 per person staying in your home.

If you are interested in applying to be a Te Ao Mārama Homestay family, please contact our International Student Manager, Sally Grylls-Thomas, for further information: sally@teaomarama.school.nz. If you have hosted international students previously, please let us know.

Hosting an international student can be a very rewarding experience and is a great opportunity to meet new people and learn about other cultures.

We have had such an incredible turnout the last two years! It is always nice to come together as a school community and relax, eat and have fun.

We hope to see you there.
