HOMESTAY FAMILIES REQUIRED
The International Department at Burnside High School would like to hear from families who live within a reasonable distance to the school and who would be interested in hosting International students. We are currently looking to increase our pool of available hosts and have students arriving for Term 2.
The period of hosting can be short term (6 months) to 1 year or longer. Hosting can be a very rewarding experience and support and assistance is provided at all times by staff from the International Department.
The hosting fee paid for 2017 is $252 per week.
In 2018 the fee paid will rise to $266 per week.
If you would be interested to hear more, please contact the Homestay Coordinator, Diane George on 3588383 Ext 806 or email: georged@burnside.school.nz
