High School students

International High School students will be enrolled in our Academic English Course in order to ensure they receive the necessary support in this area. The students also receive support and guidance through involvement in the CARE program. The CARE program links groups of students with a teacher and provides them with support in study skills, time management, self esteem and teamwork.

Participation in these groups ensures the student is able to receive support and achieve their full potential.

Airport reception

Brisbane Airport pickup is available at the cost of $120 AUD to those students who request it. WideBay TAFE requires a minimum of five days notice for this service. Students will be met at the Brisbane International Airport by an Institute representative, driven to the bus terminal, and placed on a bus to WideBay TAFE. Upon arrival to Wide Bay, they will be met by WideBay TAFE's international student support officer who will then take them to their accommodation. There is no charge for airport reception if you fly into Bundaberg, Maryborough or Hervey Bay.
