The Role of the Guardian
At Students International, we consider the role of the Guardian to be:
- To act on behalf of the parents, attending meetings with school staff and reporting back their comments to the parents.
- To help students adapt to their new life and school regulations.
- To generally take an active part in the student's school life.
- To give help and advice over examination choices and university selection, including assistance with the completion of application forms.
- To keep regular contact with the student during term time and assist with any problems that may arise.
- To monitor out of school activities.
- To organise suitable home stay accommodation with native speaking host families for exeat, half term breaks, or longer (holiday) periods.
- To arrange flight reservations and tickets when asked.
- To arrange collection and/or transport from school, host family or airport at the beginning and end of all holiday periods.
- To be available to both students and parents 24 hours a day in case of emergency.
