Hosting an international student is a rewarding way to share your home, connect with another culture, and make a lasting difference in a young person’s life. At Hauraki Plains College, we’re looking for warm, welcoming families who can offer a safe and supportive environment, a private room, and three meals a day.

Great homestay families are open-minded, patient, and enjoy including students in everyday life, from sharing a family meal to helping them settle into school. In return, you’ll receive the chance to build meaningful connections across cultures.

If you’re community-minded, enjoy learning about others, and want to be part of a student’s New Zealand journey, we’d love to hear from you.
