Welcome

We want to make your time with us successful and happy, so we ask that you respect the following guidelines for your homestay experience:

• Please ask your homestay family about the rules and expectations that they have.
• Spend time talking with your homestay family and learning about kiwi culture.
• If you are unsure about something, please ask your homestay parents questions and accept their advice and guidance.
• Ask them questions about themselves and talk to them about your family, culture and country.
• Share details about your day at school and the people that you spend time with
• Show respect to your homestay family. Always use good manners: Please/Thank you/Good Morning and Good Night are just the start.
• Always ask first if you want to do something - do not help yourself unless they tell you that it's OK
• Be honest about what you're doing and where you are
• Always be on time for school and prepared to learn.
• If you are unwell, your host parent is to notify school. You must always bring a letter from your homestay parent to school when you return to class after time away for sickness.
