Student Exchange Australia New Zealand is inviting members of our community \u2013 inbound and outbound students, parents and guardians, host families, staff, volunteers and schools \u2013 to contribute to the development and review of our policies and practices. Register here<\/a> to be part of our next online Focus Group during which we\u2019ll listen to your feedback and suggestions about our materials and activities. We\u2019ll take on board your comments and, if we\u2019re able to, will weave improvements into how we operate and how we communicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
