The international department can arrange a homestay with a New Zealand family.
Westlake Girls homestays are carefully selected and visited regularly. Host families are police vetted to ensure the safety of the student.
Homestay expectations and guidelines
"How could I ever imagine that one day I would have
three daughters !!Two of my own and one German one.
I never imagined that when we decided to homestay an
International student for six months, at the beginning of last year, that it
would develop into a life long friendship.
Our family has just returned home from a month in France.
While in Paris, our gorgeous International student, Anne ( and her parents )
flew to spend two days with us, while we were staying there. A fabulous
opportunity for us to meet her parents, as well as them meeting us, for the
first time also.
It was also a time, to reminisce about her stay with us,
for both families to get to know each other on neutral
ground.
What a fantastic experience - My daughters have certainly
gained another sister and my husband and I another daughter"
Fiona Armstrong This homestay had been organised by Lyn Swan and was arranged to suit the interests of the student. Anne is a sailing girl and the Armstrong's are a sailing family.
