International Students 

Why study as an International Student?

Studying as an International Student at Macleod College is quite a unique opportunity. While many other schools can only offer this program to students studying in the Later Years, we offer the program to students at all levels from Prep through to Year 12.

Students have the opportunity to take part in extra-curricular activities allowing them to experience not only the Australian education system, but to also enjoy the cultural side of what living in Australia, and particularly Melbourne, means.

For each student we offer:

An International Student Coordinator, Multicultural Education Aide for Chinese & Vietnamese, International Student Administrator and Intensive English Language Program Manager who work together to maximise the learning and cultural experiences of all international students.

Our International Student Coordinator leads the program with an extensive background in Student Leadership and Student Wellbeing, contributing valuable experience to the student care model which is strongly focused on  student achievement and connection.

Whole group and small group meetings are held regularly to encourage and support students to form friendships with other International students, no matter their year level or cultural background. 

These opportunities give this very unique group of students a safe space to practice and refine their language skills before taking the big leap and approaching the local students. Individualised 1 on 1 meetings with staff help to ensure that each student is happy and gaining a rewarding educational experience in Australia.
