Underpinning the CBC St Kilda International Student Program is the need to assist the transition of our international students from another cultural environment and a different style of learning, to life and study in Australia. Along with contemporary classroom opportunities, implicit in the program is a strategy of wellbeing that connects our students with each other, with their classmates, with their learning and with the school, providing overseas students with a sense of belonging.
International Student Coordinator
Our dedicated International Student Coordinator, Ms Naomi Chen, is committed to delivering an exceptional standard of support to our international students. She is the first point of contact for our international students, their families and agents. Ms Chen comes from a Chinese background and appreciates that the cultural needs of international students must be attended to thoughtfully and with understanding. She quickly develops a rapport with new overseas students and their families through listening to and identifying the individual needs of each student. This helps students settle in quickly to their new home and school environment. Ms Chen has also developed strong links with our Homestay Provider families, facilitating a strong connection for international students between home and school.

Homestay Provider Information
CBC St Kilda is proud to have an International Student Program that is continually developing and growing. Some international students are not able to stay with a parent during their time in Australia and need Homestay accommodation to provide them with a place to live that is warm, caring and suitable for their needs. Expressions of interest are invited for Homestay hosts who are willing to care for culturally and linguistically diverse students in their homes. Hosting periods can range from six months to two years, depending on individual circumstances. All potential Homestay hosts will be assessed for suitability and matched with an appropriate student. If you would like to know more about hosting an international student in your home, or the CBC St Kilda International Student Program, please email our International Student Coordinator, Ms Naomi Chen This email address is being protected from spambots.
