Tauranga Girls' College is putting out a call for host families for international students for the first time in about two years.

Tauranga Girls' College's International Department need local families to host international students from July 2022.

Host families need to meet the following requirements:

• provide a student with their own room with a desk, wardrobe and heater in colder months;
• three meals a day plus snacks and any takeaways or meals out your whānau are having;
• include your student in family outings or trips around our beautiful Bay of Plenty;
• provide transport to occasional school events or sporting activities;
• and be able to support the student's transition into New Zealand culture and life with empathy and tolerance.

Host families also have to agree to have all members of the whānau aged 18-plus Police-vetted.

To signal interest, contact TGC homestay coordinator Toni Bieleski on 07 578 8114 extension: 2168. Or email: [email protected]
