Students who are not living with the
parents/legal guardians or with a designated caregiver chosen by their
parents/guardian can apply to be placed in an approved homestay organised by
Sancta Maria College. Students will be placed with a caregiver who will live
close to the school. The weekly cost of homestay is $NZ250. Students will be
provided with their own room. All meals, including school lunches will be
provided. Laundry services will also be provided. Costs for personal items are
to be met by the student. For personal spending it is recommended that students
be given $NZ50 a week. This will cover personal items such as deodorant, soap,
bus fares and food that the student may want to purchase.
If you require homestay
accommodation to be arranged for you, please complete the forms in the Student
Enrolment Pack. The contact person for homestay accommodation is Susan McDonald
(Assistant Principal).
