International

Welcome

We welcome International students into our school community and value the rich cultural mix they bring to our learning environment. We have an excellent reputation for quality education and care of our International Students. You can be confident that your daughter will be well looked after in a nurturing and welcoming environment.

International Students will stay in our on-site boarding houses. During school holidays, students will be placed into a homestay with local families.

On arrival, we provide all students with a comprehensive school orientation. Students also have access to small ESOL classes to develop their English language skills with our International Dean.

We are a signatory to the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students.
