Accommodation

Homestay

Homestay is the best option for students wishing to maximise their time speaking and using English with Australian people outside of school.  Homestay is an opportunity for cultural exchange, and our homestay families enjoy hosting students from all over the world and learning about different cultures.  Our homestay families are also very diverse, and we try to match our students with families with shared interests so that they can build strong relationships and sometimes even lifelong friendships!
