Student Services
Our Student Services team is always available to help you with anything not related to academic achievement. Students will from time to time struggle with living situations, work situations, relationship situations and family situations. All of these may put students “at risk” either in terms of attendance or academic progress.
To succeed academically and maximise your potential, it is a team effort. Students, Teachers, Academic Managers and Student Services all work together to facilitate students development. We want to empower all students to develop the level of English they need to realise their goals.

Students have so much to do outside the classroom! Glenelg is an idyllic beach suburb a short trek from the city centre and the renowned wine and cheese from Regional South Australia and local fresh food markets are some of the nations best.

Prior to visiting Australia, you must ensure you hold a valid visa.
