Homestay - Guidelines for Students

The Homestay Experience is one of exchange and learning, with the possibility of long-term international friendships. Stewart College of Languages works hard to provide successful homestay experiences for our students.

When you choose to stay with one of our homestay families, you can expect that:

• only your target language will be spoken in the home. (If you are studying English, your host family will speak English. If you are studying French, they will speak French, and so on.)
  
• you will be treated like a member of the family, with respect and courtesy
  
• you will have your own separate bedroom, furnished with a comfortable bed, desk, desk light, chair and a chest of drawers.
  
• your host family will help you find your way around Victoria , and to school.
  
• you will receive three meals a day, and snacks will be available in the home.
  
• you will have the ongoing support of the school and our Homestay Coordinator, if you have any questions or concerns from time to time.

Homestay Fees

From 2010, Stewart College will charge a small administration fee on top of the host family fee, to help cover costs associated with managing a quality homestay program.
