The exchange process The Christ’s College Exchange Coordinator will advertise exchange opportunities to College boys and parents and invite expressions of interest. College boys will then be sent an application form for the exchange. Applicants will be assessed for their suitability and boys will be selected for the exchange (usually only one to three boys at a time). The successful applicants and their parents will be informed of the details of the exchange. Parents will be asked to consent to the exchange and organise flights. Furthermore, parents will be asked to consent to host the incoming exchange student. The school hosting College boys will provide further information about hosting arrangements and will ask the parents of the College boys to provide their son’s medical details and to consent to the exchange. The Christ’s College Exchange Coordinator works with the co-hosting school coordinator to match students appropriately and finalise the administrative arrangements.
Round Square exchanges There are more than 250 Round Square schools around the world. Round Square schools offer their students an opportunity to to embrace a global perspective and all RS schools embrace the IDEALS of Internationalism, Democracy, Environment, Adventure, Leadership, and Service. For more information about Round Square, see www.roundsquare.org Special note: “Round Square’s role in student exchanges is one of facilitator, enabling Round Square Candidate and Member Schools to connect and organise exchanges for the benefit of the students taking part. Round Square does not organise any exchanges itself and is not therefore responsible for individual exchange arrangements. It is important for students and parents to note that Round Square does not vet or monitor the arrangements made by the schools and does not have any contact with, or role in selecting, host families. Round Square provides schools with best practice protocols but you must satisfy yourselves that the arrangements made by the individual school you are considering allowing your child to visit are appropriate. Round Square therefore accepts no legal responsibility or liability for student exchanges whatsoever.”
