Study Tour Program: Accommodation

Accommodation

Our homestays are all conveniently located within easy access of the college. The average

travelling time is 30- 40 minutes between the homestay and college, with a maximum of 45

minutes. We endeavour to find the best accommodation for our students as close to the

college as possible. Our Accommodation Officer carefully selects Australian families that meet

our high standards.

In homestay, students have the opportunity to practice English in everyday situations and

develop their language skills. All our families have experience with hosting international

visitors and work closely with the college to make their stay an enjoyable experience.

We offer shared or single rooms. Shared rooms will have twin beds with 2 students from your

group sharing the same (single sex) room. Laundry facilities, breakfast and evening meal

during the week, and lunch on the weekend (if the student is at home) are included. Single

room is available to students over 14 years.

While students are normally expected to make their own way to school, the host family will

provide information about transport to the college and show them the way. Homestays can

drop students off at school and pick them up daily at an additional charge.

Alternative types of accommodation are available in and around Sydney upon request.
