Your Accommodation

Tranquillity, Safety while improving your English

One of the most important factors for the success of your Course Abroad is your Accommodation.

Student-Care NZ Ltd Host families will:

Provide a safe, clean and comfortable home.
Provide three meals a day (i.e. a basic “Kiwi” breakfast, a nutritious bagged lunch and a full healthy dinner.) Morning and afternoon tea where required.
Provide your transport to and from school or bus fares.
Provide a warm furnished bedroom which will include a bed, dresser, desk, adequate heating and wardrobe.
Provide all laundry services.
Provide access to telephone, television, bath facilities and certain homes may have access to the internet.
Treat you with the utmost respect and kindness.
Help you get orientated into your new neighbourhood.
Guaranteed all Homestay members to be English Speaking.
Provide you with a Homestay Pack – which will include a map of your local area and school. Local community services.
Provide Homestay care that will encapsulate the name of the company 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.
