International applicants on permanent resident or skilled worker visas for whom English is a second language must have their English language assessed. Tests can be arranged by the applicant at their own expense through AEAS www.aeas.com.au. Applicants must reach prescribed standards of English in reading, writing, listening and speaking, to be accepted as students at Queenwood.
In order for an application to progress at Queenwood, the following levels of English proficiency MUST be reached:
- Years 10 – 12, Advanced Level above 80%
- Years 7 – 9, Pre-Advanced Level above 71%
- Years 4 – 6, Intermediate Level above 46%.
Applicants should arrange for AEAS to send the DirectorOfAdmissions@queenwood.nsw.edu.au a copy of the results. If the applicant does not meet the threshold, AEAS may recommend intensive English Language study (ELICOS) that students require prior to commencing formal school studies; at the conclusion of this course, the applicant may re-sit the test and apply for later entry at Queenwood. Queenwood may, at times, request additional testing at the School if required.
Queenwood does not offer course credit. Entry into any course is subject to the assessment of the School. This also applies to on-shore school transfers of students on international visas either within NSW or ACT or from interstate.
