Student support
The Dean of International Students is responsible for the care of international students in the ELICOS Program, and jointly with Pastoral Heads when international students are in mainstream classes. Assistance is available in all aspects of their welfare, including guardianship and accommodation matters and academic issues.
The Homestay Coordinator oversees the homestay program and visits all students in their homestays. Health Insurance matters are managed by the School Nurse, and Visa and Passport matters by the Director of Ivanhoe International.
The Careers Adviser works closely with international students and their teachers in assisting with subject choice, career advice and University entrance.
The progress of the students in the School is monitored closely and parents receive regular reports on academic and other matters. Telephone contact, with interpreters as necessary, is encouraged for solving problems as promptly as possible.
The Student Counsellors are also available to assist international students with course counselling, study problems and other difficulties which may limit academic progress.
Student safety
The Victorian Police Force have worked with a range of education providers and associations to develop a clear message for students on how to stay safe. The Think Before message can be seen at www.thinkbefore.com and delivers a safety message in thirteen languages through digital formats.
