Liverpool Regional High School
Dear school community,
We are still recruiting families to host international students in September.
Interested?
Your hospitality can make all the difference to a student’s experience and it is our hope that by becoming a host family, it will mark the beginning of a relationship that will last a lifetime!
What’s Required of a Host Family?
Families interested in hosting must provide the student with an approved bedroom, three healthy meals per day, and treat them like a member of their family. All family members 18 and older need to provide a Criminal Record Check and Child Abuse Registry Check.
Financial Compensation
Host families volunteer to host International Students. Families receive $725 per month (per student) to cover incurred expenses while students are living with them, such as meals, providing transportation for activities, etc. This amount is non-taxable.

Yearbooks:
Folks spring is upon us and the LRHS Yearbook is coming together nicely! Please be sure to purchase your yearbook online at ybpay.ca . Yearbooks can also be purchased on select days in the lobby at LRHS or by seeing Mr. White. LRHS is pleased to announce with the generous support of sponsors including the Liverpool Lions Club, Liverpool Kinsmen and Liverpool Kiwanis Club in conjunction with the support of LRHS's School Advisory and Student Councils we are able to offer yearbooks to students for $25 a piece again this year--this is actually below the cost of production. So a huge thank you to these groups for supporting our students!
Note: If you choose to have your book personalized there is an additional fee of $5
Masking at Schools Extended until at least May 20
The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development announced today that the mask requirement in Nova Scotia’s public schools and on school buses will remain in place until at least the May long weekend. During this time, we will also continue wearing masks in our SSRCE offices and worksites.
As a reminder, this means students, staff, outside service providers, volunteers, and visitors must continue to wear a mask during school instructional hours and while on school buses.
This decision will be reassessed closer to May 20 and we will keep you updated.

SSRCE needs host families now for September. Your hospitality can make all the difference to a student’s experience and it is our hope that by becoming a host family, it will mark the beginning of a relationship that will last a lifetime!
Hosting isn’t just about giving a student food and shelter. It can be a truly rewarding experience that melds cultural sharing with personal development and great memories, as you learn about your student and integrate them into your daily life.

Families interested in hosting must provide the student with a private bedroom, three healthy meals per day and treat them like a member of their family. All family members 18 and older need to provide a Criminal Record Check and Child Abuse Registry Checks.
Financial Compensation
Host families volunteer to host International Students, but are compensated monthly for expenses incurred while a student lives with them, such as meals, and gas to pick them up from social activities, etc.

Welcome Back to Liverpool Regional High School!
We are happy to welcome new and returning students and their families to our website. The purpose of our website is to support student learning and make it easier for families to partner with the school as needed.
Our goal is that students receive the best possible education in an environment that is welcoming, fair and supportive, and where everyone has high expectations and works together for the good of all. Our students are the reason why we are here. We are committed to helping our students reach their educational goals and achieve success.
