Nambour State College proudly welcomes international student enrolments from many countries.
The Sunshine Coast attracts many international students thanks to its relaxed coastal lifestyle and beautiful beaches. Nambour itself is a lively community, offering a gateway between its popular beachside locations and lush hinterland scenery. With convenient direct train access to Brisbane, Nambour State College is an appealing choice for students looking to enrol.
We already have a wonderful group of host families who warmly welcome international students into their homes, but we're always on the lookout for new families to ensure the best possible matches for our students.
Our homestay coordinator works closely with both families and students to create a positive and rewarding experience for everyone involved. Host families receive financial compensation for hosting, and you don't need to have a student enrolled at the school to become a host. We welcome all types of family arrangements. Hosting can involve single or shared student placements, as long as each student has their own bedroom (note: study tour students may share a room) and a designated study space.
Homestay offers many benefits, including the chance to build lifelong connections with someone from another culture and deepen cross-cultural understanding. Plus, there's the exciting opportunity to visit your student in their home country once they've returned home.
