No matter which Study Option a student chooses, they will live with a local caring family who are nurturing and part of our community. Students will receive the same consideration and protection as other family members. We want all our students to be in a warm and welcoming home environment while they study at Woodcroft College. 

Homestay accommodation is arranged and managed by Happy Homestay Adelaide and the program is closely monitored by our International Student Coordinator.  Families are carefully selected to find the best match for the student and details of the Homestay family are forwarded to the Education Agent and family of the student for approval. All our Homestay families must go through an application process, home visits, with relevant clearances and reference checks for all household members over 18 years. 

All Full-Time and Study Abroad students will have their own furnished bedroom, including a desk for study. Study Tour students may need to share a bedroom. 

Our international students will be encouraged to interact with their Homestay family as this will help with their English skills and settling into the Australian culture. Students will participate in weekend activities which could include family functions, trips, entertainment and shopping. 

Homestay families live near the College or in surrounding suburbs. Transport options include their Homestay family, the Woodcroft College school bus (free of charge) or public transport. No student will experience a lengthy travel time to school. 

Full-time students under 14 years of age will need to live with a parent or other approved Department of Home Affairs guardian.
