Recently through the support of our Board and key parents, we have become a Signatory of the Code to host and enrol International Students. This is an exciting time moving forward for Puketaha School as we open our doors for all our children to embrace and engage with international students. As a school we believe the experience for our students will be rich and will grow their knowledge and appreciation for a range of cultures as well as their role in becoming global citizens. 

Next term we will be hosting three separate groups from China, each group for a two week period. Our first group which has 10 Students arrive on the first day back. Our planning is well underway to ensure their time and experience for both our children and them is a positive one.

Homestays Required: Some of these children and their parents are needing a Homestay and we are welcoming expressions of interest from our families who may wish to become Homestay hosts for the 2 week or the 6 week period. Each host will be remunerated $525.00 a child for the 15 night stay and $560.00 for an adult. If you feel this may interest you please contact Christine in our office to request a Homestay Application Form. Alternatively, please find it attached here.
