Homestay period:
Saturday 16 February 2019 to Monday 18 March 2019 for 4 weeks and 2 nights.
We also have 2 students arriving on 9 Sat for 4 weeks, and some other students in March.
They are all from a very strict women's university and their university does not allow them to stay with any single male aged 16 or over even if the male is a family member.
If the host family has any boy (child, relative or homestay student) aged 15 or under, or female in any age while they are staying, it will be no problem at all unless they are Japanese.
The home must be located in North Shore.
All members of the home must use English as a first language.

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
