Looking for host families for Onehunga High School
Some benefits of hosting international students:
- An opportunity for lifelong friendships around the world;
- Bringing an international perspective to your home and family life and providing opportunity for your children to develop their social and hosting skills whilst learning about other cultures and languages;
- Extra cash (Note: although hosting internationals come with great renumerations, please note that this cannot be solely looked at as an income as we are looking for families who are keen to do this more as a cultural exchange and fun!)
Remuneration
- Long-term students (1 term or more); $290 per week
- Short-term students; less than 1 term; $300 per week
- Short-study groups; from $42-$60 (double placement) to $75 (single placement) per night

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
