All international students must live in a school-approved homestay. Students are not permitted to live in flats/apartments. Regardless of age, they must live with a family where approved adults care for them. Parents of students who are not living in a school-arranged homestay are required to sign a form releasing the school from responsibility for their welfare outside school hours.

All accommodation will be regularly visited by the College homestay organisation. All Rosehill College homestay carers and their live-in family members over the age of 18 have been vetted by the New Zealand Police. 
(Ministry of Education Code of Practice )

Rosehill College Homestays: 
Fees are paid to the school for the same period as the tuition fees. The school pays the homestay families on a two weekly basis. The homestay weekly rate includes an amount that is used by the College to monitor the homestay. Students may not change their accommodation without the Director's permission, and this permission must be sought in writing and well in advance.

Students choosing not to stay in Rosehill College Homestays:
These students must live with either their parents or a close family relative or friend. These students' parents must sign the ‘Statement of Designated Caregivers Arrangements’ form, available from the school or agents stating that they agree to take responsibility for placing their son/daughter with their relative.  Students living with their parents do not have to complete the Designated Caregivers documents.
