Wanted : caring, fun-loving host families for our female Japanese high school students
If you have a spare room, are keen to share NZ culture, learn about Japanese culture and earn some extra money, then hosting could be a good option for you. Our female, Japanese high school students are coming to Christchurch next April and we are looking for some welcoming host families who are willing to become their kiwi family for a year.
Southern Cross Language Institute is a well-established language school in Merivale and offers excellent host family support and competitive board rates.
