Become a Homestay Family – Welcome the world into your home!
Have you ever thought about opening your home to an international student?
Bayside P-12 College is seeking warm, welcoming families, couples and individuals to join our Homestay Program and help provide a supportive “home away from home” for students from around the world. Homestay hosts receive $360 per week (tax free) and the chance to share Australian culture while learning about another. Students are typically 15–18 years old and stay anywhere from 6 months to 3 years
Homestay Requirements:
- A comfortable, furnished private bedroom
- Three meals a day (breakfast and lunch can be self-served)
- Internet access
- A safe, caring, and inclusive home environment
Being a homestay host is a rewarding experience that builds lifelong connections and strengthens our global community
