				Hi there, we recently hosted a girl exchange student from France for 10 months, which was a life changing experience for all & we are looking forward to hosting our next girl exchange student from Sweden for another 5 month adventure. Its a very exciting & rewarding time for both families involved, the friendships & connections you make last a lifetime & it feels like you gain a new family member every time you host. Cheryl, Monique & Sandra have been so amazingly supportive & helpful through out all of our exchanges. We have been hosting exchange students for over ten years & we can highly recommend it.

				Our Family have had several exchanges with SCCE over the past decade.  Jenny Hanson was a most excellent co-ordinator.  Jenny has a straight-talking but friendly style and she gives wonderful timely support to Host Parents with questions or issues.  Couldn't recommend SCCE or Jenny more highly!  Ang

				I had a wonderful 8 months in Australia, unfortunately Covid meant i had to shorten my trip by 2 months. SCCE handled the whole situation with care and diligence. My host family started off as strangers but very soon we were family, 4 years later here I am back in Aus with my boyfriend, introducing him to my Australian family, and catching up on the time passed.

				Wonderful organisation who made sure that my exchange was a smooth and comfortable experience. I had a fantastic experience on my exchange and I would highly recommend using SCCE if you are looking to go overseas to participate in a cultural exchange.

				As a host mum and now local coordinator, I have been so privileged to be part of the SCCE journey. Having a student from overseas joining our family, teaching my girls a different language and being such a huge part in a student's exchange  program has been really rewarding. I look forward to welcoming our second host student into our family mid year. A great company to host through! 5⭐ They come in to our lives as strangers and leave as family! Our first student returned 4 years after she first arrived. Still part of our family like nothing ever changed

				This is our first time as a host family and all the SCCE employees I’ve dealt with so far have been very kind and easy to communicate with. Our Italian exchange student has exceeded expectations and fits in with our family perfectly. We look forward to building on this connection and creating many more happy memories with him. Thanks SCCE team 😊
