Homestay Information

Feedback from Modbury High School host families indicates that hosting an international student is a rewarding and enriching experience.

Host families learn about other cultures and traditions, participate in activities and socialise with other host families and develop lasting friendships with their student and family. If you are considering becoming a host, you can learn more about the experience by watching this video:

Steps to become a homestay

Read the Code of Conduct and Quality Service Expectations.

Step 1 Homestay Application:

Complete the Homestay Application form. Please ensure that you answer every question. You can submit your application online by filling the form online, or you may choose to print the Homestay Application Form below and return it to the Study Tour Coordinator at Modbury High School.

Step 2 Criminal History Screening:

Provide evidence of your current Working with Children Check, or request assistance from the Study Tour Coordinator with obtaining one. The Working with Children Check (previously known as the DCSI Clearance) is valid for 3 years. All persons over the age of 18 residing in your home (except international students studying in a South Australian government school) are required to have a valid clearance.

Step 3 Submit your forms:

Submit your Homestay Application form online. Submit evidence of your Working with Children Check (or valid DCSI clearance letter) for each person over the age of 18 residing in your home directly to your school.

Step 4 Home visit and interview:

The final step to become a homestay is a visit and interview in your home. Once your application has been assessed and satisfactory criminal history screening/s has been received, our school Study Tour Coordinator will contact you to arrange a home visit and interview. We will explain your obligations in more detail and answer any questions that you may have.

You are now ready to host a student!

If successful, you will be accredited as one of our valued homestays and we look forward to allocating a Study Tour student to stay with your family!
