Homestay opportunities

Homestay opportunity – register as a homestay and enjoy the fantastic experience of hosting an international student.
Homestay hosts often report in testimonials on the many benefits of being a host family. These include positive cultural exchange experiences for all family members and friends as well as establishing caring and ongoing friendships with students from all over the world.

Each year there are International students who enrol at Menai High School to complete their secondary education. They all need a family to be their homestay family for the duration of their stay in Australia. It would be wonderful if Menai High School families could take part in this experience.

School contributions

In NSW public schools, all financial contributions are voluntary. Every student has full access to the curriculum, regardless of whether contributions are made.
