Travelling Home

All JPC students are expected to attend school during term time. 

If you need to travel to your home country for emergency reasons during term time, you must provide a written request from your parents to the Accommodation Officer. 

You should email: – homestay@jpc.qld.edu.au 

You will need permission from your Head of School.


  • If you are travelling home in the term break, you need to let us know and send us your flight tickets.
  • In Week 5, you will receive a ‘Travel Intentions Survey’ which you must complete, if you are/are not travelling.
  • This helps us arrange transport to the airport for you.
  • The last day of Term is a Homestay Travel Day. We encourage students to travel on this day (usually a Friday) during school hours. That way, we are in the office to help if you need.
  • Otherwise, you should not miss any days of school to travel. Please ask your parents to book flight tickets outside of term time.
  • If you are staying with a family member or relative, we will ask your parents to fill out a form.
