OUR FAMILIES
Our dedicated and fabulous homestay families are one of the most important ingredients to an enjoyable and unforgettable stay in Australia. Many of our families keep asking for students year after year- several have been with us for over 10 years!
Before and after students arrive, ICET runs orientation sessions and regular meetings with homestay families to ensure they understand our program, how to best communicate cross-culturally, and how they can best meet the needs of our students.
Our families provide students with friendship, quality parental guidance, and they are often keen to teach students about “Aussie” life and help with student’s studies. All families have fulfilled government requirements, including police checks. We hold regular social gatherings, such as BBQ’s and cross-cultural dinner parties, which are also a great way to meet other families in a relaxed atmosphere.
We make every effort to match your requirements so whether you want to live with a family with children your own age or with a family with a farmyard of animals, we will do our best to accommodate you.
