Waitakere Primary are hosting International Students from Japan on the 30th July - 8th August 2026 and are looking for some additional host families. Students are normally hosted in pairs, but please let us know if you could take a single placement only. They require a bedroom (they can share the room (if hosted in pairs) but need separate beds), a space to study should they wish (dining table is suitable) and Wi-fi connection. With all meals including a packed lunch when at school.  

Please send through any interest to asmith@waitakereprimary.school.nz with your details and further information and remuneration will be advised. 

Please note: there are certain criteria that we must meet for each homestay so please do not be offended if your household does not meet these criteria.

We are collecting new or gently used blankets to support children in need this winter. Families are invited to send blanket donations to school by Wednesday 13th of May. They can be brought to the office for donation.

Please note that we can only accept blankets (no sheets, duvet covers, duvets or sleeping bags).

Thank you for helping us make a meaningful difference and supporting West Auckland children.

We have completed our lockdown exercise and all students, staff and persons on-site are safely accounted for. Everyone did extremely well and responded to instructions. We would like to personally thank you for your support while we conduct these practices.
