Currently we have short-term International Students looking at studying at Casebrook Intermediate for 2023, without the support of our community we are not able to host the students. If you have ever thought about being a homestay family, please find a brief outline of what it would involve.
I trust the following information will answer many of your questions.
- If you
are interested, please complete the attached form and return to the school
office.
- If there
are more interested families than students, we will hold a ballot.
- Families
are paid $300 per week per student.
- All
families that are accepted into the programme must be prepared to be
Police vetted and house inspected prior to placement of a student.
In Brief:
- The students
require three meals a day.
- They need
their own bed but may share a room.
- They
require adequate bedding. They are
accustomed to cold conditions but VERY warm houses.
- Their washing
needs to be done for them.
- They need
transport to and from school. If your
child walks or buses it is OK for them to do the same.
- You will
have my cell phone number and I can be contacted at any time.
- I do not
know how well these students will speak English, but most will have
reasonable understanding.
- It is
expected that they will become a part of your family for the time they are
with you - have the same bedtime as your child etc.
If you wish to become involved, please return your form to the school office ASAP.
If you have further questions, please ask.
Thank you very much for your interest.

International Director
