Welcome International Students

Home / International Students

Students from many different countries have chosen to study at The Cathedral School. International students are welcomed into the school community and are immersed in classes and boarding life with children from many different backgrounds and experiences. The Cathedral School offers CRICOS Registered Courses specific to Primary, Middle and Senior school students.

The blend of cultures within the school community encourages tolerance and understanding between people from different nationalities and provides a broader global perspective for all.

Some of the countries represented at present are Hong Kong, China, Korea, Japan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar and Europe.

The international students comprise only five per cent of the school population, so they rapidly develop their English language skills and adapt to the Queensland education system and the Australian way of life.

After completing high school, students can go on to study at universities in Australia or overseas. Past Cathedral students are currently studying in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Townsville, while others have completed their studies and are now engaged in successful careers.

Testimonials

The Cathedral school is a great school. There are many friends and kind teachers. At breaktime you can play handball which is a popular game in school. I loved playing handball with my friends, we had great fun. There is a big lagoon with ducks which you can enjoy sitting around or just walk along side. The Cathedral School has big trees and a huge sporting complex as well as a library called the Wonder Hub which you can read fun books with your friends. You can learn how to swim in HP class in the hot summer too. I hope you enjoy The Cathedral School.
