Would you be interested in hosting an International Student?
St Catherine's College has new students arriving in January 2023 for Term 1 (and two students for most of the year) so we are looking for homestay families now!
There are students coming for short-term (2, 8 and 10 weeks) as well as two longer-term stays (44 weeks). If you're interested in building lifelong friendships, learning about other cultures and offering a kiwi family experience to a young person, please email us at international@scc.school.nz for more information.
Any other questions please get in touch! Yuko, Homestay Coordinator St Catherine's College international@scc.school.nz
