Under 18 Policies
If you are under the age of 18 while in a homestay placement, you have a number of extra responsibilities.
In particular, it is important to remain in contact with your supervisor, as well as services officers and enrolments staff at your place of study.
There are specific rules relating to homestay. For example, individual Homestay’s may have specific house guidelines for guests. There is an expectation that you will make an effort to live as a family member in the home and communicate and get involved with the family activities.
AHN strongly suggests that you read all Homestay Policy information and be patient about adjusting to your new home.
If you are intending to take scheduled holidays away from the homestay or without supervision, your parents must give written permission before we can consider the request to grant the leave be taken. Please refer to the “Students on Holidays” link for further information.
