Homestay
For
International Students NZSTT can make arrangements for
Homestays.
Homestays
are an excellent way for a Student to live in a safe and
friendly environment, a home away from home.
Homestay Cost - weekly up to NZ$200 (includes two meals
weekdays, three meals weekends): Administration fee (paid once
only) NZ$400
All fees must
be paid in advance. Students do not pay families directly; fees
are payable to NZSTT and families are paid 4 weeks in advance.
Additionally Students who wish to leave their Homestay must give
4 weeks notice. There is a rigorous check of all Homestay Hosts
before they are accepted as suitable for International Students.
Families who
provide Homestays come in many forms. These include families
with one partner working, one partner at home with the children,
single parent homes with young children. Both partners working
full time and / or a parent working part-time and being back at
home in time for the children arriving back from school. Couples
without children, retired couples. Many families have indoor
pets. These can include a dog or dogs, cats etc.
A Homestay
is not a Hotel, it is expected that the Student will
contribute to assisting in the cleaning of the house,
dishes, assist in the cooking if they wish, just as they
would assist their parents back at home.
Flatting
NZSTT do
not make arrangements for flatting, however some Students
after living with a Homestay family might choose to with
their new found friends, move into a flat.
Boarding Establishments
NZSTT do
not make arrangements for Hostels, however we will be
pleased to pass on information pertaining to Hostels
Campus
NZSTT do
not make arrangements for Campus accommodation and at this
