St Luke's Homestay Program

What is the Homestay Program?

The St Luke's Anglican School Homestay Program is a guardianship and accommodation program for students attending St Luke's who do not, or cannot, live with their parents or legal guardians during their tenure at St Luke's. The Homestay Program has been developed with compliance to all legal requirements for students who live away from their parents or legal guardians, including International Students. It provides full-time care and accommodation to these students during their schooling.

Students who participate in the Homestay Program are guaranteed, at a minimum, to be provided with:

Comfortable and healthy home environment
Private, single bedroom with adequate storage
Suitable area to study
Healthy diet with balanced nutrition
Respect and an acceptable level of privacy
Reasonable and safely monitored social life
Shared access to usual household luxuries, such as television and other general living comforts

CArefully Selected Homestay Families

Homestay Program students will reside with and be cared for by Homestay families who hold a Blue Card and have been screened and approved with a current Police Check and Risk Assessment, as per the Working with Children (Risk Management and Screening) Act, 2000. Homestay families are members of our school community.
