STAYING
WITH A HOST FAMILY
Many students find staying with a local family to be the best part of the entire adventure of studying on the Sunshine Coast. Having local support and awareness is just so valuable, as well as the opportunity to practise conversation and get to know the best of local areas. Your host family will support your wellbeing, provide you with healthy food and help meet your needs while you are visiting.
You, your homestay family and your parents in your home country are all given clear information and guidelines so that you know how CalCC can support you. In this way, the CalCC International Team is here to help you in every part of your stay.
Your commitment is to:
-
Try your best to communicate and engage with your homestay family members (be brave)
-
Accept that cultural differences may be challenging at times, but know also that the reward of personal growth is well worth it
-
Do your best to be a part of the family
-
Speak to someone (a family member or International Team member) whenever you are confused or have concerns
