Homestay Accommodation:
The school selects very carefully the families who offer homestay accommodation to International Students. Students will be placed with a New Zealand homestay family who will care for them and ensure they are well supported during their enrollment at Evans Bay Intermediate School. Costs are $300 per week.

Living with a Designated Caregiver
The parent of an international student can nominate a close family friend or relative to take care of their child during their study in New Zealand. This is the person that the student will live with during their time at Evans Bay Intermediate School and will have the overall responsibility of the students. Please note that a Designated Caregiver is NOT a Legal Guardian.

Living with a Parent:
Parents must have a guardianship visa if staying for over 3 calendar months and must continue to live with their child during the course of their study. Students need to live within a reasonable travelling distance to Evans Bay Intermediate School.
