Our boutique boarding house is adjacent to the College – just a five minute walk to the centre of the Pakenham Campus.
The residence is staffed 24 hours by qualified and experienced residential supervisors and mentors. All meals (breakfast, morning/afternoon tea, dinner and supper) are provided as well as a range of weekend and holiday activities. Menus are designed by our College chef, with optional supervised cooking on the weekends in the fully-equipped kitchen (ingredients supplied).
Staff supervise study and provide academic and wellbeing support to students. English conversation is encouraged over meal-times. International students love their boarding house ‘family’!
Homestay
Homestay
International students can choose short or long-term homestay options, from two to four weeks or longer if needed.
All homestay families live near Beaconhills College or close to transport. For long-term stays, families provide a single, fully furnished room, three meals a day and laundry facilities.
Homestay allows students to learn about Australia in a safe, supportive and friendly environment. It is also a wonderful opportunity for all host family members to learn more about other cultures and languages. Many international students form lasting friendships with host families and stay in contact with them long after returning to their home country.
Homestay hosts must be Australian citizens and hold a current ‘Working With Children’ card. They are selected and approved by the College’s international department.
