Accommodation

Eynebsury offers a range of accommodation options for students. For homestay and student residence placements, all students must pay the Accommodation Placement fee which in 2009 is A$250.00 and this includes airport reception. Students must complete the Accommodation Application form and return this to the Accommodation Office at least 4 weeks before arriving.

Homestay accommodation provides students the opportunity to live with an Australian family.  Students living in this environment are introduced to Australian culture and have the best opportunity of being able to develop their language skills by using English on a regular basis in everyday situations.

All Eynesbury approved homestay hosts have met selected criteria and they come from a diverse range of cultures, backgrounds and family structures. Our homestay hosts can provide either full board or part board homestay. 

Please Note: All Under 18 students who have nominated Eynesbury to be their legal guardian are required to live with an Eynesbury approved homestay host on full board until they turn 18 years of age. All students enrolled in Year 11 must also live in homestay accommodation.

Students are provided with their own fully furnished room, shared use of bathroom, laundry and negotiated use of kitchen facilities.  Internet and phone costs are not included in the weekly fee and usage/costs are negotiated with the homestay host. Most host families are located within 20-30 minutes travelling time to the city and school by public transport.
