    The program is open to international students (both boys and girls) aged 12–16 years as of 1 July in that Australian school calendar year. The program is for students who require a 10, 20 or up to 40 week English language preparation course prior to integration into the Australian Curriculum.

    ​

    Boarding Residential Accommodation

    ELICOS students are accommodated in The Hutchins School boarding house (for boys) or the St Michael’s Collegiate boarding house (for girls).

     

    Upon successful completion of the ELICOS program students may be offered a place within the regular school curriculum.

    ​

    Inclusive Program

    As part of the ELICOS program, students are carefully integrated into the School community. Students are part of a regular mentor class and are pastorally cared for by their mentor teacher, Head of House and the Head of Boarding. Students also participate in the co-curricular program which includes sports, music, debating, Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award and performing arts. ELICOS students have access to extensive resources including counselling, sporting facilities, libraries and ICT support.

     

    On completion of the ELICOS program, students are supported through their schooling with ongoing English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D) provisions.
