Have you thought about hosting an international student?
Wellington High School is looking for host families for boys from Germany, Mexico and Columbia and a girl from Germany. These students are staying for either 6 months or one year. Open up the world for your family and be a part of enriching and transforming lives.
We are looking for homestay families who are inclusive, caring, supportive and willing to share their home and Kiwi life with a student. Visiting students want to experience day to day life with a New Zealand family and to feel a part of the family.
The 2023 homestay fee will be $320 per week.
Please contact the Homestay Manager, Di Jordan, on 021 020263860
Thanks!
