Dear Host Families & Students,
Kia ora from the Homestay Plus team! We hope you’re staying warm and well as we move through Term 3 and the last stretch of winter.
Keeping Homes Healthy & Warm
Cold and damp can sneak up quickly in these winter months, so a friendly reminder to keep your home warm, dry, and well-ventilated—especially your student’s room. A warm and clean environment is key to their health and comfort. And on those rare sunny days, don’t forget to let some fresh air in!
Planning Ahead for January 2026
If you’re keen to host short-term students from January, please get in touch with us as soon as possible. We’ll need time to arrange updated inspections and new application forms, so the earlier we hear from you, the smoother the process.
Going on Holiday Over Summer?
If you’re planning to head away during the summer holidays and won’t return until late February, please let both your student and our team know. It helps us with planning and ensures students feel informed and supported while you’re away.
Thank You, as Always
A big thanks to all of you for your care and commitment. Hosting isn’t always easy, but your support makes a huge difference in your students’ lives. We couldn’t do it without you.
Stay cosy and take care,
The Homestay Plus Team
