*A student’s ability to speak and understand English is assessed upon commencement in the school they are enrolled in. If a student requires additional support, they are enrolled in one of five Introductory English Centres (IEC) for intensive language teaching before transitioning back into their enrolled school.
(4) All ACT Government primary schools, secondary schools and colleges are eligible to accept international students.
Although international students are able to nominate their preferred school as part of the admissions process, enrolment in a school is only offered if the school has the capacity to accept a student. Further consideration is given to the residential address of the Homestay Program and their proximity to schools and the public transport network.
If a student is living with a parent/guardian approved by the Department of Home Affairs or is participating in the Family Friends or Relative Program, enrolment in a school is subject to the Priority Enrolment Area (PEA) policy.
International students with a disability, who are dependents of temporary residents, are subject to specific assess and placement procedures prior to acceptance and admission to an appropriate school in the ACT.
