Using this information, a list of schools can be created that meet a student’s educational needs, and further research undertaken by visiting school websites.

Important information

Access to resources

All international students studying in Victorian government schools enjoy a range of advanced education resources.

The Victorian school system offers:

VCE (Victorian Certificate of Education) consisting of subject units that provide a tertiary pathway

Victorian School of Languages, offering tuition in over 40 languages

English language tuition, for language proficiency and VCE studies

Support services, for student welfare and personal growth

Career Resources, offering students vocational guidance

Academic, sporting and extra-curricular learning activities

VET (Vocational Education and Training) career oriented subject units

AusVELS (Australian curriculum in Victoria) prep to Year 10

Accreditation

In every Victorian government school, students gain advantage through unique learning environments and high education standards. Accredited schools participate in a rigorous quality program to ensure exemplary education, student support and best education practice. To achieve and maintain accreditation, schools demonstrate their quality education approach through:

• Broad school community support for international students

• Record of student achievement from early school to Year 12

• Desire for continued improvement across all services provided

• High levels of student engagement and teacher satisfaction

• Quality academic, accommodation, welfare and language support

• Students successfully transitioning to preferred tertiary study

Once accredited, schools are involved in a formal quality assurance system that revisits accreditation every four years. A system of measuring outcomes keeps student performance levels high and maintains supportive and engaging learning environments.

All schools published in Right School Right Place are accredited. Schools are constantly achieving and renewing their accreditation, so if your school of interest is not listed, please contact the International Education Division.

Study expenses

At some schools, additional costs may be encountered for optional activities like camps or private music lessons. However, in general, international students should expect to pay for:

• Tuition and subject levies• Homestay accommodation• Overseas student health cover• Textbooks and stationery• School uniforms (if applicable)

Tertiary pathways

Most international students plan to continue their study at university. Victoria has Australia’s highest school to university transition rates. So, Victorian educators are skilled and experienced in propelling students to this goal.

VCE gives students the choice of progression to a Victorian university or tertiary study overseas.

Many features (educators and staff, location, student numbers, special programs, community) contribute to the individual personality of a school. Victorian government schools provide consistently high academic standards, but their nurturing environments are what actually yield student success.

Location

Victoria is a diverse state.

Accredited schools support international students right across the state. Of the schools profiled in this guide, 90 are located in Melbourne. The remaining 12 schools are sited in other Victorian cities.

Melbourne

Large city with a population over 4 million

Other Victorian cities

Small to mid-sized metropolitan centres

Every school location has something different to offer. So when comparing schools, consider the benefits students stand to gain from a particular learning environment.

For easy reference, the location map on page 12-13 is divided into coloured areas. To help identify school locations, a corresponding symbol appears in the map index and on each school profile page.

Curriculum

A summary of VCE (Victorian Certificate of Education) and VET (Vocational Education and Training) subjects appears towards the end of the guide.

From this array of course offerings, each Victorian government school develops its own distinctive curriculum. This method of independent course development allows schools to be responsive to the needs and interests of its community.

The dynamic study landscape created by this approach has allowed many schools to develop specialities within their curriculum.

Some schools are sought after for these specialities, that may offer students an integrated study approach to their preferred university course.

In making school comparisons, consider each unique curriculum and its alignment with the student’s learning aspirations.

Unique features

The characteristics of each school contribute to its positive learning environment.

Victorian government schools are renowned for their culture of growth and encouragement. A range of activities from music productions to camps, representative opportunities or student community service are considered vital to student personal growth and local community engagement.

Some schools also feature exclusive academic opportunities. Many accredited schools support accelerated learning programs for high achieving students.

Other schools offer tertiary subjects within a university extension program. These units assist students to gain prior learning recognition towards degree study at a participating university.

Profiles published in this guide provide some information to help make school feature comparisons. Refer to individual school websites for full details.

Success storyI loved participating in classes, which are not available in my school in Germany, like Outdoor Recreation and Australian Indigenous Languages. I learned and experienced a lot, for example, Rock climbing, Bushwalking, Kayaking and Caving. It was always great fun and it increased my knowledge about the outdoors a lot. Out of school, I played Australian Rules Football and I really enjoyed it. It is also, in my opinion, way better than soccer.– Severin – Germany, 2014
