As we welcome International students to Carmel College, we are looking for warm and caring long term and short term, Carmel College host families, reasonably close to the school.

Our homestay hosts must be New Zealand residents and speak English at home.  If you enjoy learning about other cultures, and have a spare room or two, you might like to consider hosting.  Our International department will be available to offer plenty of support.

2026 Remuneration: 

• $420 per week for students in Years 9-13
• $470 per week for students in Years 7-8

If you can help, or you wish to know more about hosting an International student, please email:  homestays@carmel.school.nz
