International Students

Our international students are offered academic excellence, a nurturing environment, individual development and the opportunity to develop their English language abilities.

International students who successfully complete their studies with St Michael’s Collegiate will obtain a Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE) and are supported by the School to be accepted by leading universities around Australia.  Recent graduates are currently studying successfully at the Universities of Melbourne, Queensland and Sydney. 

All regions in Tasmania are “Australian eligible regional areas” for the purpose of regional visas.

Collegiate is located in the city of Hobart on the island of Tasmania, Australia’s southernmost state.

As well as a convenient, inner-city location, the School enjoys safe, quiet grounds with plenty of green space for student wellbeing. The school is just 20 minutes from Hobart International Airport.

Collegiate has a strong reputation for academic excellence and student support and wellbeing. With one of the broadest subject offerings available in Tasmania, Collegiate aims to support students to follow their passions and become well-rounded citizens of the world.

We handle each International enrolment individually and it will include the provision of Overseas Healthcare Cover (OSHC), which will vary depending on the student’s length of stay, etc.

Our Boarding House, located on our Senior School campus, is home to both local and international students who board with us either casually or full-time.

We have an in-house catering team who provide all the meals for our Boarding students, and the students also have access to on-campus facilities including the gym, pool, study areas and the library.

The Commonwealth Government requires the Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) Levy to be paid before commencement at the School. Students must maintain OSHC for the duration of their visa. The School arranges OSHC on a 12-month basis, and the levy is added to your daughter’s school fees each year.

The Australian Government, Department of Immigration and Citizenship Living In Australia web pages contain information and publications about life in Australia, and links to government settlement services, including help learning English. These pages also provide information about Australian values and the cultural diversity of Australia’s people.

The Australian Government wants overseas students in Australia to have a safe, enjoyable and rewarding place to study. Australia’s laws promote quality education and consumer protection for overseas students. These laws are known as the ESOS framework and they include the Education Services for Overseas (ESOS) Act 2000 and the National Code 2007. Parents and students should make themselves familiar with this framework.

The Overseas Students Ombudsman investigates complaints about problems that overseas students may have with their private education and training in Australia. Overseas students or their family/friends who are concerned about a problem a student is having can contact the Ombudsman. The Overseas Student Ombudsman is independent and impartial.
