Homestay
St Margaret’s highly recommends Homestay to international students in order to improve English language skills, to experience living in a family situation and take part in the Australian culture and lifestyle. To ensure the smooth running of the Homestay program, St Margaret’s uses International Student Care Australia (ISCA).
Homestay families are carefully interviewed and selected by a School representative. Student safety and wellbeing is a priority to St Margaret’s, not only during their time at School, but also within their Homestay environment. Regular monitoring, including meetings with Homestay families by the School and its representatives, ensures that the level of care expected by St Margaret’s is met.
Information regarding homestay will be sent to all successful applications.
