Accommodation homestay,

College policy is for international students to live in fully supervised accommodation. The minimum age of students to be accepted into welfare and accommodation arrangements approved by the College is 12.  The Principal must approve all accommodation arrangements.

The College Homestay Program places international students into Christian families who are committed to the care and wellbeing of the visiting student. Many of these families have children who are students at the College. Living with an English-speaking family will be an advantage to students wishing to improve their language skills.

Where the College arranges accommodation the parents/guardians of students who are under 18 years of age must certify that they are satisfied with the accommodation arrangements made on their child’s behalf.   If students want to stay with family or friends in Brisbane, this information must be submitted to the College before students begin their studies. The family or friends must be over 18 years of age, they must be resident in the state of Queensland and they cannot be overseas students themselves.

Features of the local area

The College is located in Brisbane on the eastern coast of Queensland, Australia. Queensland is a popular international destination due to its climate, natural attractions and friendly people. The cities are clean and safe and have a relatively low crime rate. There are three international airports and modern, efficient public transport. Due to our multicultural population, there are many supermarkets and restaurants that cater for all tastes. You can obtain almost every product you have at home including halal meats, Chinese vegetables, American style burgers, pizzas and a huge assortment of takeaway meals. 

One of the many great aspects of living in Queensland is the high level of personal freedom that comes from a truly multicultural society. People here have a wide variety of philosophies and practices and live harmoniously with personal freedom and rights protected by law.

The climate is very pleasant with winter being the dry season, and people can enjoy crisp, mild and sunny weather during June, July and August. Summer is warm and in some areas the weather is similar to South-East Asia and the South Pacific regions.
