Whiteshell School District

SDW is looking for anyone interested in welcoming an International Student into their home for 2026 2027 school year. We have lots of students requesting to come to our Division and would love to accept them all! But we NEED YOU ! We will have students for 3, 5 or 10 months! Males & Females! They come from all over the world: Japan, Switzerland, France and Germany to name a few! The District offers a monthly stipend.

For more information please reach out to 204-753-8366 or thompsonv@sdwhiteshell.mb.ca.

Main 3 things we need from a host family is: 3 meals a day, a caring and nurturing home, and to just have fun!! There is always support from the local International Coordinator and other host families.

New this year we will have a host family training session online to help you feel more confident before your student arrives, and a higher monthly stipend to help with the extra costs. We really need the community to help with this program to make it a success.

So grateful for host families like Lisa McKay and crew! She and her family have hosted students for many years and from many countries! She took these 4 Internatioanl Students on an adventure to Banff and they had a fabulous time. Thank you Lisa for your contribution to this program!
