Avonside Girls’ High School and Shirley Boys’ High School are currently recruiting homestay families for International Students arriving for the 2023 school year.

Both schools have a variety of different programmes ranging from:

1) Short term groups in Term One for 2-3 weeks. Double placement possible.

2) One term placement

3) One year placement

4) Students staying for more than one year

We are looking for welcoming and kind host families who are prepared to care for and parent the students as they would their own children . Homestay payment is $290 per week. This includes 3 meals a day, unlimited Wi-Fi and laundry. Students must have their own room with a desk for study.

If you would like to host a girl for Avonside Girls’ High School please reply to Lisa Garrett - lgarrett@avonside.school.nz

If you are interested in hosting a boy for Shirley Boys’ High School please reply to Leanne Russ – lor@shirley.school.nz
