International Students

2026 Lunar New Year “The Year of The Horse” 

People born in the Year of the Horse have a vibrant spirit, full of energy, independence and enthusiasm. We wish all our students and families a joyful, healthy and prosperous Lunar New Year. 

International Student Program Overview 

This term, we are delighted to welcome 19 new international students to our school community from Vietnam, China, Germany, Korea, and Switzerland. We are so excited to have you all with us. An orientation session was held on 28 January, where students had the opportunity to meet our Principal, Sub-School Coordinators, and Sport and Wellbeing staff. During the session, we discussed life in Australia, staying safe, school routines, and how we can best support students as they settle in. Thank you to our host parents and families overseas for joining us and supporting students through the transition.

We are also excited to introduce a new Enrichment EAL Program for selected Year 12 students, providing targeted support to help students strengthen their academic English skills and feel confident as they prepare for their VCE exam. 

Meet The ISP Captains 

Our International Student Program Captains play an important role in supporting international students throughout the year. They assist with orientations, events, and day-to-day support, while also promoting cultural exchange and inclusion across our school community.
