All international students must live with a parent (or legal guardian), Designated Caregiver, or a Queen Elizabeth College Approved Homestay.
We recognise that being settled into a good homestay family is of critical importance for all international students living away from home. Queen Elizabeth College works very hard to carefully select host families and caregivers who will have the best interests of their student at heart and who will support and welcome them into their family and wider community.
Homestay options may include town or rural homestays on farms or lifestyle blocks. However, wherever a student is placed will be within walking reach of the College, on a school bus route, or occasionally the student will be driven to and from school by their homestay family.
All homestays are carefully selected and interviewed by the College's homestay coordinator and police vetted according to the requirements under the Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice 2021
