As we approach the upcoming Winter Break some families may be planning trips away from home. Should you anticipate that your child may miss some school, either due to your travel schedule or any necessary isolation period following your return, it is important that you communicate with your child’s teacher and school before you leave to ensure that your child is aware of any schoolwork they would be missing. We follow federal travel guidelines around COVID-19. These guidelines state that: unvaccinated persons, including children, who travel outside of Canada cannot attend school for 14 days following their return. Read full information here
HOST FAMILIES: Saanich International Student Program (SISP) is actively looking for new Host Families for our international students joining us in January/February, as well as host families who would like to be available on short notice for students currently here. Make lifelong friendships, provide a student with a home away from home and share the beauty of your community! If you are interested in this opportunity, host families are provided:
- $975 per month per student (students must have their own bedroom)
- If necessary, an additional $300 per student for the 14-day quarantine (to help cover any extra expenses), although the expectation is students will be fully vaccinated when they arrive in Canada
- Ongoing support from the SISP Homestay team
Sign up for a no-commitment consultation with one of our Homestay Coordinators or start your application to become a host family!
