International Students
Applications for enrolments of International students
are always welcome. International students are regarded as important
contributors to the College's culture and ethos. The educational
program at the College is designed to support the development of
the whole person, with positive self-image, seeking excellence and
respecting the rights of others.
There are currently students from Thailand, China and Indonesia
at the college. Princes Hill Secondary College is very well located
because it is only 10 minutes from the University of Melbourne and
a 15 minute tram ride from the city. It encourages all students
to become confident, acquire knowledge and skills that are highly
valued internationally, enabling them to effectively enter universities
in Australia or in their countries.
Our students go on to study at the University of Melbourne, Monash,
Deakin, La Trobe and Victoria Universities.
Over 30 nationalities and language groups are represented at the
College.
Secondary College gives its students the maximum opportunity to
achieve the necessary results to gain entry to tertiary studies
and careers.
