International Department Staff

Sacred Heart College has had many years of experience hosting International Students from all over the world. The College is a signatory to the Code of Practice for International Students and takes the welfare and education of their students very seriously. The number of International Students is relatively small which enables students to be readily integrated into College life. 

The International Department provides wrap around care for our International Students ranging from curriculum planning, to academic progress and reporting, language support, social and health support, career advice, as well as accommodation arrangements, holiday activities and travel insurance.

At the beginning of each school term, International Students participate in an orientation programme designed to familiarise them with the school environment and to help them understand school expectations. International Students are integrated into regular classes, across Years 9 to 13 and, where appropriate, receive extra support in particular subjects.
