Education

Students have access to a wide range of education options and experiences in Townsville, and are fully supported by Homestay Townsville through their studies.

Educational focus

Homestay Townsville is the only homestay accommodation provider registered with local schools.

Co-ordinator Prue Lewis will liaise directly with the student’s family before the student arrives in Australia to determine which education institution would be the most appropriate.

From here, Prue assists with the enrolment, the sourcing of the uniform and school supplies, and keeps track of the student’s progress, attending student-teacher interviews or offering language support if required.
