Hosting an international student is a culturally enriching experience for everyone involved. Homestay families welcome the student as a valued member of the family and share Australian lifestyle experiences with the student. Students, in return, are expected to show consideration, courtesy and respect for the homestay family.
Burnside State High School hosts Study Abroad students from one term to one year and Study Tour students from 7-14 days. Homestay providers of Study abroad students and Homestay providers of Short term study tour students receive an allowance to cover costs associated with providing meals, accommodation and access to all amenities for the duration of the student’s visit.
