Posts: New Brunswick International Student Program
3/9/2019 12:48 PM by tracy.graham
Nackawic High School is planning to participate in the New Brunswick International
Student Program again next year. This year, we are hosting one Grade 10
student from Germany for the entire school year and two Grade 12 students from
Brazil for 2nd semester. We are hoping to expand the program next year, but in
order to do so, we are seeking host families for these students for the
2019/2020 school year. Becoming a host family to a student from a different
country and culture is both an enriching and challenging experience. Welcoming
international students into your home helps develop friendships that will last
a lifetime, and by sharing your home and offering guidance to your student,
your family becomes an important part of their life too. Placements can be from
September to January, February to June or for the entire school year. Visiting
students live with a host family, attend regular classes at Nackawic High
School and participate in extra-curricular and community activities for the
duration of their visit. A host family does not need to have a child who
currently attends Nackawic High School. Many grandparents, single adults and
empty-nesters have volunteered to host students. There is also a financial
incentive for host families to help compensate for the extra expense of
welcoming a guest for an extended period. If you are interested in hosting an
International student next year, if you have any questions about the program,
if you would like to speak to experienced hosts, or if you would like more
information about the responsibilities of host families, please contact Sean Newlands
at 575-6042 or by email at
sean.newlands@nbed.nb.ca
.
Please share this information with any family or friends that may be interested
in hosting as well.
