Late last week I visited with a most delightful Baradene family who approached me with regards to wanting to host a homestay student and I thought of Mook straight away.
They have a daughter in year 8 at Baradene and have had homestays from other colleges before. The family are originally from England and are well settled in a lovely large, well equipped home. They have plenty of room and are a very warm and hospitable family. They live close to amenities. The home is a little further from Baradene College than her present homestay but they are on a Baradene school bus route and they are very close to shops and large malls AS WELL AS in indoor swimming complex which the daughter likes to go to. As Mook really enjoys swimming this to me a major advantage.
They are a very outgoing family and they care deeply for their daughter and would like her to have a homestay who wants to be a part of their family and be a friend with their daughter which is what we are always hoping will happen in our homestays. The daughter is a most delightful young lady. She is active in dance – currently part of a large cheer leading squad. She loves swimming – they have a swimming pool at home for the summer months which could be so very ideal for Mook. They also like day and weekend trips including camping which is a very popular past time in the summer months and would always include Mook in all their family outings.
