KOREAN HOMESTAYS - TERM 3, 2024
Mitcham Girls High School is excited to announce an incredible opportunity to become part of our global community! From July 28th to August 10th, 2024, we will be hosting students from Korea for a cultural exchange program. We are looking for families who are interested in opening their homes and hearts to our international guests for 13 nights.

Hosting a student from Korea is not just an enriching experience for your family, but it also opens doors to cultural exchange and lifelong friendships. By welcoming these students into your home, you are providing them with a unique opportunity to experience Australian culture firsthand, while also giving your own family the chance to learn about Korean traditions and customs.
