Visa
Visit the Department of Immigration website for more general information.
Allow enough time to obtain a student visa before enrolling in an English language course, as the visa process can take a long time.
​
Health Insurance
The Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIABP) requires all holders of Student Visas to have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) during the time they are studying in Australia plus an additional 3 months longer than the visa.
Your daughter must obtain health insurance cover with a private health insurance provider, as she will not be covered by Australia’s national healthcare program. Overseas Student Health Cover will provide your daughter with Australia-wide access to health services.

Guardian
Guardian Arrangements for Students Under 18 Years of Age
St Scholastica's is committed to the pastoral care of adolescents who are away from home. International students under 18 years of age must have a guardian approved by the College. The guardian’s role is to supervise students, liaise with the school and report to parents on their daughter’s progress and any matters of concern. The Guardian must reside in Sydney for the length of the student’s course and must be able to speak and understand English.
The guardian accepts full legal responsibility for the student while she is attending St Scholastica's College.
Students must have a guardian regardless of being a boarder.
​
Student Support
International students must comply with certain conditions to retain their student visa. To assist them, the International Program Coordinator monitors students’ attendance, academic progress and Overseas Student Health Cover.
Students must attend at least 80% of classes for each term or semester and achieve satisfactory academic results.
If a student gives cause for concern, she is counselled and an official warning letter is given to her, her guardian and, if thought necessary, her parents. If the warning is ignored, immigration authorities would be notified in accordance with The Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIABP) requirements.
The College also has conditions of enrolment and these are set out on the Application for Enrolment form.
