Homestay

By living in a safe, caring and supportive home environment, students can immerse themselves in their studies, practice their English skills and develop long lasting friendships with their homestay family.

Homestay families are carefully selected from within the school community and support students to settle into the family routine and learn more about daily life in Queensland.  

Many lifelong friendships have been forged by participating in a Study Tour homestay program.
