Seeking Host Families

Soweto Students

For nearly two decades our student leaders have been actively promoting the wonderful relationship we have with our sister school, Letsibogo Girls High School in Soweto, South Africa.  Each year Frankston High School sponsors students from Letsibogo and provides them with the opportunity of experiencing life and learning in a privileged environment that offers opportunities the girls may otherwise never experience, which can be utilised with success when they return to South Africa. The two students are selected according to their potential to graduate from school and progress with further tertiary learning to a fulfilling career.

We are asking Frankston High School families to consider hosting a 2020 Letsibogo Girls High School student for a period of four weeks. Our Soweto students will be arriving soon and completing Year 11 at Frankston High School.  Host families are needed from March onwards.  Daily needs such as clothing, toiletries, pre-pay mobile phone, public transport costs plus a $30 per week allowance are provided by the school.  However, we would be relying on the generosity of host families to provide accommodation and food.

Receipts from public transport, phone cards for overseas calls (available from a newsagency) mobile phone cards, etc. will be reimbursed from the Finance Office on the 7-10 Campus.
