If family members attend a private school, that school may respond favourably to S.C.C.E.'s request to waive the fees for the international student. S.C.C.E. is accessible for help around the clock. International students have followed a selection process similar to that outlined elsewhere in this brochure for Australian students. Host families receive no remuneration. International students are fully covered by medical insurance before being accepted, so host families will have no medical or educational costs.
Students have their own spending money.
There are clearly-defined S.C.C.E. standards for international students. Since the international students represent such a diversity of backgrounds, talents, personalities, S.C.C.E. is looking for families of all types. A family may be a single-parent, has no children at home, is in an isolated location, has two working parents. Any of these families could make the perfect home for an international student. The family needs to be warm, open, flexible and enthusiastic.
