Groups can choose to stay in homestay accommodation, offering an authentic taste of the Aussie lifestyle outside school.
Living in a safe, caring, and supportive home environment, students can thrive and immerse themselves in an English-speaking environment. Students often form long-lasting friendships with their homestay family beyond their Study Tour.
Our homestay families are carefully selected from within the school and local community, ensuring students are welcomed into a warm and supportive household. They're excited to help visitors settle in, become part of their daily routine, and discover what life in Ballarat is all about.

Acknowledgement of Country
Ballarat and Queen’s Anglican Grammar School acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we learn, live and work, the Wadawurrung People, and recognises their continuing connection to the land and waterways. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend this to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.
Commitment to Child Safety
Ballarat Grammar maintains a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of child abuse and actively implements measures to identify and manage any risks of harm to students within our school environment. The care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people are central and fundamental responsibilities of the School. We are firmly committed to fostering a child-safe culture that provides an environment where students are safe and feel safe, where their participation is valued, their views respected, and their voices heard in decisions that affect their lives. Ballarat Grammar values diversity and strictly prohibits any racist or discriminatory practices. All members of our school community share the responsibility to care for children and young people by promptly raising any concerns regarding their safety, promoting their wellbeing, and protecting them from all forms of harm or abuse.
