    A few points to note before submitting your forms

    Every person living in your home (or someone who regularly stays overnight in your home) who is 18 years of age or over must submit a police vetting form Being a homestay family should not be relied upon as a constant source of income. Students come for short or long stays and when one leaves we may not be able to place a student with you again immediately. Homestay payments should be considered more of a reimbursement for costs associated with having an additional person in your family rather than an additional source of income. We are generally only able to accept homestay families who are within one bus stage of our school. This is because students like to be able to easily get to and from school and to meet their friends at weekends and after school.
