After we receive your application:
After we receive your application we will check the documentation and issue you with an international student fees invoice.
Once we receive the fees, we will issue an Offer of Place.
You then apply for a student visa.
Once the visa is approved start to make travel arrangements. Advise the school of your arrival date.
The school will provide you with a date and time for an interview with the Deputy Principal.
An interview (45 minutes) with the Deputy Principal will be held with the family to share information about the student and the school.
Once the information from the interview is assessed by the Deputy Principal, the family will be phoned with the student’s class and teacher’s name. A stationery list will be made available for the student.
The student may start school two or three days after the interview. This allows the student and their family time to settle into their new home, purchase stationery and uniform items, and allow any effects of jet lag to disappear.
Ilam School is a signatory to The Code of Practice for International Students and adhere to this document.
