Homestay families needed for 2018
MAGS' International Department is currently looking for new Homestay families for 2018, for short and long-term stays.
You may like to include a student in your family life, or perhaps you know of someone who would like to - a friend, relative or retired couple. The experience is enriching and rewarding for both students and hosts.
What is the expectation of a host?
A host is expected to provide a clean and comfortable bedroom with bed, wardrobe (built-in or free-standing) and drawers, linen and towels, desk and lamp, heating in the room, meals and laundry.
What is the benefit of hosting?
* A chance to meet students from all over the world
* A great opportunity for your children to learn a different language
Share your culture while learning about your student's culture and country
* Prompt fortnightly payment ($290 from January 2018). Payments continue through the April, July and September holidays
* Short and long term guests available
We are looking for families who speak English as their first language, as well as some New Zealand/Chinese families.
We are always happy to hear from prospective host families, so if you would like more information please call or email today.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
