Your safety and academic success are very important. There are some school rules about when you can go out during the week and weekend. Your homestay will also have additional rules. Your Homestay should always know where you are at all times. You should always have your phone with you.

Monday - Thursday

During the week, your time outside of school should be spent on:

  • Homework
  • Co-curricular activities
  • School events
  • Spending time with your Homestay family

On School nights, your focus should be on your schoolwork. You are not allowed to go out to places like Brisbane City, Sunnybank or shopping malls during weekdays.

If you are over 18, you can negotiate arrangements with your homestay.

Weekends

During the weekend, you can meeting up with friends outside of school. You should discuss your plans with your homestay.

  • Where you are going
  • How you can be contacted
  • How you are getting there
  • What time you are leaving and when you will be back
  • Who you are going with
  • What you are doing
  • If you are running late, show courtesy and let homestay know

Latest times you should be home on Friday and Saturday evening

How old are you?

Staying overnight at another homestay or with a friend's family

If your homestay approves, you are allowed to stay overnight at a friend’s homestay or family house. You should tell your homestay about your plans in advance. Your homestay may contact the College for approval.

Staying with a family friend or relative

From time-to-time you may wish to stay with a friend of your family, or a relative. This may be for just an afternoon or for a few weeks. We can approve this if your family friend or relative completes a Nominated Person for International Students Form. We will need a few weeks to process this, so please let us know about your plans in advance.
