Aquinas College is seeking welcoming homestay families for new international students joining our school whānau in 2026.
We’re looking for wonderful families to host students short-term, long-term, or temporarily while a regular host family is away. We’re also keen to hear from families who could host a student over the summer holidays.
Couples, singles, families, young or young-at-heart, with or without pets — all are encouraged to apply! Hosting an international student is a rewarding experience that allows you to share our Kiwi lifestyle while learning about other cultures. You’ll be fully supported by our friendly Aquinas International team every step of the way.
Next year, we’ll be welcoming students from across Asia and South America, bringing even greater cultural diversity to our Aquinas family.
If you want more information about becoming part of our awesome Aquinas host whānau community, contact us at homestay@aquinas.school.nz. We’d love to meet you!
