International Homestay Families Needed

Do you have a spare bedroom?

Would you like to share your love of Australian culture with students from many countries?

We are looking for homestay hosts!

Hosting international students in your home can be hugely rewarding. We offer you the opportunity to play a part in sharing your life, home, and to provide memories and cultural experiences to an international student. To form lifelong friendships. 

Increasing numbers of international students are choosing to study at Palm Beach Currumbin SHS and we are looking for local families to host these students. There are short term study tours (under two weeks) as well as long term (6mths-2years) students to accommodate. 

Host families receive remuneration for hosting students. Long term hosts will receive $328 a week. 

Contact our International Coordinator Corinne Van Put for more information and to answer any questions. Email: cvanp1@eq.edu.au or Tel: 0438 191 637

  

Starting Dates for 2023

Once again, PBC will be implementing a staggered start to our school-wide starting dates in 2023.

The staggering of starting dates for our year levels will allow us the opportunity to effectively orientate our commencing Year 7’s into what is a vastly different educational landscape than they are used to, as well as commence Senior Curriculum work for our continuing Year 11 and Year 12 students.

Monday 23 January 2023

• Year 7 students – report to the Hall by 9:00am
• Year 11 students – report to CARE Class by 9:00am
• Year 12 students - report to CARE Class by 9:00am

Tuesday 24 January 2022

• Year 8 students – report to CARE Class by 9:00am
• Year 9 students – report to CARE Class by 9:00am

All new students to our school (excluding Year 7) are required to attend a New Student Orientation at 8:30am in the Trade Training Centre on the corresponding day to their Year Level.

All students will engage with Year Level and House Assemblies in their initial days, allowing exposure to key school messages from the outset of the year.
