Student-Care NZ Ltd
In addition to our host families requirements, we have a company mandate that
the homestay experience is the most important aspect of our International
Students and as such we devote a lot of time and effort into carefully screening
and getting to know our Host families. We only choose the best.
It is a requirement of the Ministry of Education in New Zealand’s “Code of
Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students” that all Host Families
have been Police Vetted.
Student-Care NZ Ltd philosophy is that all of its International
Students leave one of their personally and carefully chosen homestays fulfilling
their dream of a positive experience that will last a lifetime.
