The
Scots School, Bathurst welcomes overseas students and assures students that they
will be well cared for when they enrol at the school. We understand that living
away from home, particularly in another country, can be very difficult. The Scots
School prepares students for their School Certificate and Higher School Certificate
examinations and also welcomes students who wish to study for short periods of
one year.
Student
Visa
All
overseas students must have a current Student Visa to study in Australia and to
attend The Scots School. The school's overseas liaison officer will assist in
providing the necessary information to obtain student visas and will, where necessary,
assist with renewals of visas.
Accommodation
Arrangements
All
overseas students must enrol at The Scots School as boarding students. Home-stay
students are not accepted.
English
Language Classes
All
overseas students are offered English Second Language (ESL) classes, at no extra
fee, whilst they are enrolled at the Scots School. Students are expected to have
some knowledge of English prior to enrolment. Assistance is also provided by the
ESL teacher to students to assist them with their prep time during the evening.
Students are also helped with learning and understanding cultural differences
and how to attend to such things as banking, shopping, etc. and to get used to
the way of life in a new country.
Guardian
It
is preferred that all overseas students have a guardian nominated by their family.
The school will act as guardian, in limited circumstances only.
School
vacation times
During
school vacation times it is preferred that all students go away from the boarding
house. Students are encouraged to visit their guardian during this time, or, for
the longer vacation times, to return to visit with their families. Homestay arrangements
can be made in Bathurst only. Travel arrangements to and from the school will
be arranged by the school. Tickets for overseas travel must be arranged by the
student.
When
travelling overseas students must make travel bookings in sufficient time to be
in accordance with term dates and should not leave school early or return after
the start of term. Over the last fifty years, The Scots School Bathurst has been
both a school and a home to many students from very many countries.
We
want to see that education is an enjoyable experience for all our students.
