International Student Program

Ripley Valley State Secondary College will be

recruiting homestay families for both long term and short term

students in their International Student Program for 2026.

A homestay is a private home accepting overseas students to live

as a part of their family

It is not a matter of simply renting out a room in your house. You

are effectively the student’s “parent” whilst they are studying at

Ripley Valley State Secondary College.

Host families can be an individual, couple or family

preferably located within the school catchment area with easy

access to public transport.

Being a homestay host can be a very rewarding experience

where cultures are exchanged and lifelong friendships

are often established

Host families receive a fortnightly tax-free payment

which covers the cost of student’s meals, accommodation and access

to all amenities.

For more information on hosting International students, please contact the Languages department

or phone 07 38195333.
