Home Stay
International students can experience New Zealand culture first-hand in choosing to live with a New Zealand family. 

Homestay families are carefully selected by Mrs Brenda Hogue, our International Student Director. For additional confidence, homestay families are also approved by New Zealand Police to ensure that quality care is given.  Brenda also remains in close contact with each homestay family as St Peter’s College believes that communication is the key to a happy and successful homestay experience for our international students.

Our homestay families say that hosting international students is a rewarding experience, one where life-long friendships are formed.
