Homestay Student Holiday & Sleepover Rule

Homestay Student Holiday & Sleepover Rule

 

Student Holidays

1.        Airport Pick-Up and Drop-Off

Homestay hosts are expected to assist students with transportation to and from the airport at the beginning and end of their holiday. This includes both domestic and international travel.

2.        Confirming Flight Schedules

Hosts should directly confirm all travel dates and flight details with the student to ensure timely support. Please note that HHA does not organise flights for students.

3.        Holding Fee for Holidays

If a student’s holiday is longer than one week, a holding fee will be applied on a weekly basis to secure their room during their absence. This fee allows the host to retain the student’s room while the student is away.

Fee Guidelines:

·       Case 1: Student is away for less than 7 days   
→ Full weekly fee is payable.

·       Case 2: Student is away for 12 days within a two-week payment cycle
 →   One-week holding fee and one-week full fee are payable.

🔔 Reminder: If you become aware of any changes to a student’s holiday schedule that have not been communicated by HHA, please notify us as soon as possible.

 

Sleepovers (Student Staying Outside the Host Home)

1.        Prior Approval Required

Students are not permitted to sleep outside the homestay unless prior approval has been granted by HHA. This is a strict policy in place to ensure student safety.

2.        No Verbal Confirmation Accepted

Even if the student claims that their school or guardian has approved the sleepover, HHA must receive a direct notification and issue approval before the student stays elsewhere.

🚫 Without HHA confirmation, the sleepover is not allowed under any circumstances.
