WHY NOT HOST A JAPANESE STUDENT?
We have been invited to host a small group of co-ed Japanese high school students from August 1st to 12th. These students are learning English in their home country and will be coming to Australia with an English teacher, to improve their conversational English and to experience our Australian culture and our beautiful natural environment.
We are seeking expressions of interest from school families who might be interested in hosting a student during their time at St Benedict’s College. **Home stay hosts will be paid a tax free allowance for each student which will more than defray the costs of hosting.
During their stay, the group will have English lessons and integrate with St Benedict’s College students during the day. Each Japanese student will have as a ‘buddy’, a student from our school.
All that is required is to provide a clean and tidy bedroom, and to provide all meals, (packed lunch on school days), and to provide transport to and from school each day. This can include travelling with your child to and from school, by school bus.
As well as the stimulation of having a foreign student share your home for a few days, this will be a rewarding and memorable experience for hosts and students alike.
Why not consider hosting a student in your home & enjoy this positive and rewarding experience?
