Epsom Girls Grammar School - Homestay Families Required - January 2025

Jo from Epsom Girls Grammar School

The Epsom Girls Grammar School International Department are looking for families who can provide a caring and supportive home environment for an international student. If English is your first language, you have a spare room and live within close distance to school, we look forward to hearing from you.

Hosting an international student is an enriching experience and a wonderful opportunity to share your family life, Kiwi culture, and hospitality, to experience other cultures and learn more about the world.
In 2025, NZ$400 per week is paid to cover full board.

Please call Jo Bostock on 970-6757 for further information or email jbostock@eggs.school.nz.
