Homestay families needed for 2018
MAGS' International Department is currently looking for new Homestay families for 2018, for short and long-term stays.
You may like to include a student in your family life, or perhaps you know of someone who would like to - a friend, relative or retired couple. The experience is enriching and rewarding for both students and hosts.
What is the expectation of a host?
A host is expected to provide a clean and comfortable bedroom with bed, wardrobe (built-in or free-standing) and drawers, linen and towels, desk and lamp, heating in the room, meals and laundry.
What is the benefit of hosting?
* A chance to meet students from all over the world
* A great opportunity for your children to learn a different language
Share your culture while learning about your student's culture and country
* Prompt fortnightly payment ($290 from January 2018). Payments continue through the April, July and September holidays
* Short and long term guests available
We are looking for families who speak English as their first language, as well as some New Zealand/Chinese families.
We are always happy to hear from prospective host families, so if you would like more information please call or email today.

Poll: Are domestic flights with Air NZ out of your budget?
A Tauranga man has filed a complaint with the Commerce Commission, claiming that due to dynamic pricing, it’s cheaper for him to fly to Los Angeles than to book a flight for his daughter from Tauranga to Wellington.
Do you think their pricing needs addressed to encourage more people to fly?
-
95.4% Yes, it's too expensive
-
3.9% No, it's reasonable
-
0.7% Other - I'll share below
What does ANZAC day mean to you?
ANZAC Day is a time to reflect, remember, and honour those who served.
It’s also a powerful reminder of the impact of war and the courage of those who stood for something greater than themselves.
We're interested to hear what ANZAC Day means to you and your whānau, and about any special traditions you follow each year.
Perhaps you have a loved one who served? If you feel comfortable, we’d love for you to share their story here with us.
