Homestay for International Students
International students are offered quality homestay accommodation while studying at our school.
We understand that quality homestay accommodation for international students is an extremely important responsibility.
The homestay experience is pivotal to international students’ successful transition to Victorian education. It assists students to improve their English, learn more about Australian culture and to make the most of their international education experience.
We make every effort to find and select quality host families and to make sure all our International students live in a safe, comfortable and caring home environment.

The homestay experience is a wonderful opportunity to build lifelong relationships with students and their families across the globe. A caring host family will make a positive difference to an international student’s life and it will also provide a journey for reciprocal cultural exchange. To learn more about becoming a host family, see: Homestay Family Guide or Victorian Government website. If you are interested in becoming a NHS host family, please contact us today.
