Homestay Application Procedure ForInternational Education Specialist College (IESC) Students Aged Under 18 Years Old

"Tony and I have been hosting Home Stay students from China since our 1st Student Kresta arrived approx 2008 through Marina and Study Vision. We enjoy having them in our home and have had many students over the years stay for between 3-8 years with us. They only leave to return to China permanently or to live with their partners here in Australia. Those still here in Australia visit or call regularly and we have also visited our past students in China a few times attending their weddings and meeting their families. We also keep in touch via WeChat with them, and they are part of our extended family. We like learning about their culture and showing them the Australian Culture. We take them Camping, show them around the area and spending time with them in our home so they feel welcome and comfortable when they are so far away from their families. I want them to be treated in a way that I would expect for our children if they were living away from home in another country. Marina and Study Vision have been a wonderful support for us, making sure we feel supported with being Homestay Hosts and answering any questions we may have."

"Study vision helped me when I was suffering mentally, emotionally and financially in Sydney. Being an international student, it was difficult for me due to covid but I got opportunity to live in accommodation with Trinity’s family. They were very friendly and supportive for me, no any disturbances and the environment was so peaceful. I am going to miss these little cuties who brought smile on me. I am surprised how time flies so fast, really I had a great experience in the house. Moreover, thank you so much for all the support from study vision and Trinity family, your help will always remain in my fingercount through entire life. will miss these kids"

"Study Vision has provided my family with amazing experiences through the hosting of their many international students. My family and I assist the students we host in whichever way possible and aim to be their home away from home as we understand how difficult it is to be separated from their own families by vast oceans. By the same token I find my own families’ life is greatly enriched by sharing experiences with these wonderful students! We have learned and continue to appreciate the differences of the many cultures from around the globe through the stories and insights of our students. Marina, from Study Vision, who coordinates our student placement is efficient and highly professional. Her warm nature makes her extremely approachable if you need to any questions. She truly cares for the welfare and happiness of both students and hosts alike. I highly recommend Study Vision to both potential hosts and students who are considering on embarking on this wonderful cross cultural journey. Study Vision is the Gold Standard!"

It has been rewarding to see the students grow in confidence, improve their English skills, adapt to Australian life, and achieve positive educational and personal outcomes during their stay. Study Vision’s commitment to student wellbeing and success is evident in everything they do.

We highly recommend Study Vision to both host families and students looking for a supportive, professional, and enriching experience.

I have been hosting international students referred to me by Study Vision for over 12 years now. It has been a fantastic and rewarding experience. The students have come from all over the world. I have learnt lots of interesting things about their culture and traditions. The most exciting experience has been preparing delicious recipes together, sharing stories at the same time. Likewise, they have learnt important things from me during their time in Australia.

I'm still in touch with many of my previous students. I often receive messages about their achievements, including marriage and becoming parents. Thank you Study Vision for doing an amazing job matching homestay families with international students.

My experience with Study Vision is excellent, always a good communication, support of any concern or question. JVasquez
