Home stay is an experience where a family hosts a student from overseas to give them a glimpse of life as an Aussie. They taste their first Aussie pie, have their breath taken away by the beautiful beaches in our backyard, and learn to say “G’day mate!” with the proper Queensland drawl. Participating families of the Home Stay Program have remarked the experience to be rewarding, enlightening and lots of fun.
In Term 3 2018, Mueller College will be hosting Japanese students for the following dates:
Chuo High School 19 July – 30 July 2018
16/17 year old Japanese High School students, visiting for 11 nights
Showa Primary School 30 July – 5 August 2018
8-10 year old Japanese Primary School students, visiting for 4 nights
Katsushika Middle School 19 August 2018 – 24 August 2018
14/15 year old Japanese Middle School students, visiting for 5 nights
We are seeking families in our local community who can welcome these students into their home for a short stay.
Families from Prep to Year 12 are welcome to apply (i.e. your child does not have to be the same age as the students) and our wish is for the majority of these students to stay with college families to truly experience the Mueller College community.
Interested families will receive an introductory session with a Home Stay support staff member, have access to a 24/7 support line, and receive a non-taxable payment to cover the cost of providing three meals per day, school drop off/pick-ups, and normal household utilities.
If you would like to be part of this exciting program, please fill in the attached forms or contact Home Stay Coordinator Mimi Petrusma on 0402 888 970 or homestay@calcc.qld.edu.au
