Interested in becoming a host family?
Each year Woodford House welcomes girls from across the world into our global village. During term time, students live with their peers in boarding houses at school. In the school holidays, many students wish to stay with host families to enjoy the Kiwi way of life. If you have a spare room and you are interested in other cultures, then your home could become her home away from home.
Homestays are an invaluable opportunity for the student and host family alike, providing the chance to learn more about each other’s cultures and perspectives.
Homestay families receive an honorarium of $40 per night. To register your interest, please visit www.woodford.school.nz/homestay or call Dana Solomon on (06) 8730 700.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
