Living in a new country is an adventure. It can also be a long way from the support network of a student’s family. The renowned Pastoral Care program of The King’s School assists students to develop a sense of belonging and promotes their wellbeing.

For international students on a 500 subclass Visa, boarding is compulsory and a guardian who lives locally must be nominated by the parents. Local guardians are interviewed prior to the time of student enrolment. Accommodation provided by the local guardian for the student will also be reviewed prior to enrolment.

Entry is usually for the start of the academic year, however, registrations for entry at other times will be considered.

English language proficiency requirements

We require different levels of English ability for students entering at differing levels. In general terms, the older an applicant is, the higher their English fluency must be to cope with the academic demands.

Applicants to Years 3-6 Tudor House should be able to communicate in simple spoken and written English. This will be assessed at the time of interview and the student may be required to complete a handwritten task.
