International Students

Kingsway Christian College has offered international students the opportunity to study in Perth, Western Australia since the mid 1990’s. International students studying at the College either stay with relatives or in Homestay accommodation arranged by their agents. Every student is part of a warm and caring community, where they are free to be, encouraged to serve and confident that they belong.

Our Heads of Students, Mr Matt Elliott, Mr Dave Colin-Thome and Mr Dave Ruck, assist international students to settle into their new life at Kingsway and Mr Matt Elliott specifically coordinates pastoral care for all international students in Secondary Years.

Students from across the globe have and continue to enjoy the wonderful opportunity of living and studying in the delightful city of Perth, Western Australia.

Pre-requisites for International Enrolments

Principal Assessment
The College Principal needs to be satisfied with the school reports provided and have confidence that the student can make suitable academic progress in the College and has met the minimum English language requirements before commencement.

English Proficiency
Students are required to sit the Australian Schools, Education Agents and Supporting Agencies (AEAS) test or the AEAS or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) test or, provide other clear proof of their English proficiency. These are not pass or fail tests, but rather provide an indication as to how long students need to study intensive English at a specialist language school, or confirmation that the student is competent enough to study in Australia now.

Additional Information

Preparation Courses
Vast majority of our international students enrol into an English Language Intensive Course of Study (ELICOS) prior to commencing at Kingsway Christian College. These courses are designed to prepare students for studying Secondary School courses in Australia. International Students spend typically six months of intensive English study, but it could take longer to reach the required English level for some students. We recommend Phoenix Academy. 

Transferring From Another Course
If the student is transferring from another course of study in Australia within six months of commencement, a Release Letter must be provided from the institution before a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) can be issued.
