International students are welcome at The Illawarra Grammar School. Every effort is made to ensure that our international students become a part of the school community.
We take great care in looking after our international students, ensuring that they are safe and secure, and helping them to adjust to the Australian way of life.
Homestay
Students are accommodated in carefully selected homestays with either a school family or a family from the local community. These families are reputable and provide good accommodation. Our homestay coordinator visits all accommodation and is available to deal with any problems that may arise.
Transport to school is available from all homestay locations.
Guardianship
Guardianship can be provided for students under 18 years of age who are not living in Australia with a parent/custodian or nominated relative.
Centre for English
The Illawarra Grammar School also offers English language tuition to high school age international students. Our Centre for English, located on campus is NEAS accredited and provides a high quality English course to prepare students for our senior school.
Our high school English preparation course teaches the English and academic skills that students need to be successful in the senior school. The course combines intensive English language study with English for specific Australian high school subjects. Time is allocated to focus on Australian study methods and techniques. Where appropriate, students are place in Mathematics and PDHPE classes in the mainstream.
While studying at the Centre for English, students are integrated with TIGS students, participating in activities as part of the academic, cultural, sporting and social life of the School. This interaction increases confidence and helps students adapt to life in the school. The course also includes study in the library, computer and internet skills, project work, self study and educational excursions.
General information about our International Program is available in the following languages: Chinese, Korean, Taiwanese and Thai, for downloading below. A complete brochure in English is available for downloading in the 'How to Enrol' Section.
