Please carefully read the information below to ensure you fully understand the responsibility of hosting a boarding student in your home. If you are in agreement to abide by the terms and conditions, please complete and submit the form at the bottom of the page.
Meals
Breakfast, lunch and the evening meal are to be provided for the student each day the student is with you.
Breakfast might consist of cereal, fruit juice, toast, tea or coffee. If it is the practice for the family to get their own breakfast, this should be explained to the student. The student should be advised that it is the practice for the family to eat the evening meal together.
The student should be asked to be punctual at meal time and to always contact the family if they expect to be late or miss a meal. Indicate to the student if they may “help themselves” to food and drinks at any time. Ask the student if there are any foods he/she does not eat – sometimes there could be religious or medical restrictions.
Bedroom
The student should be provided with a comfortable bed. The student may not share a bed. Single beds must be used for each student. Under no circumstances should double beds be used to accommodate more than one student.
The student’s privacy should be respected by all members of the host family and the student should reciprocate. The student should keep the bedroom clean and tidy.
Visitors
The student should ask your permission before bringing friends into your home and they should ask where they can entertain them. If you wish the friends to leave by a certain time indicate this to the student.
24 Hour Support
The House staff can be contacted during term time in the event of an emergency. Equally Host Parents should contact the student’s Parents directly if there is an emergency.
