Homestay and guardianship
All international students enrolled at our School must have a guardian or support provider for the duration of their study.
A family can appoint a relative to act as a guardian or support provider, which must be approved by the Australian Government Department of Home Affairs (DHA).
If a relative fitting the DHA requirements cannot be nominated as a student guardian, then the School will appoint an appropriate support provider who has been approved by TKS to provide support services.
It is a DHA requirement that all international students under 18 years of age live in supervised accommodation which must be approved by the School.
Student guardians, third party support providers and homestay families are required to follow The Knox School Student Guardianship and Support Provider, the School’s Student Safety at The Knox School handbook and other School policies, procedures, rules and expectations.
The Knox School has a well-established database of carefully selected families who have been hosting our students for many years. All our homestay families have undertaken Working with Children clearances; are well-informed of our student safety framework, and are expected to share our commitment to student safety – which is the School’s paramount consideration.
The current Homestay Information Handbook is available upon request.
