Overseas Student Enrolments
THE FUTURE NEVER STANDS STILL
NOR SHOULD YOUR DAUGHTER.
Strathcona was founded in 1924 and is a day school for girls from Prep to Year 12. We are an independent, non-government school. The main campus is situated 11 km east of the city centre of Melbourne in Victoria. Our School has excellent, modern facilities and resources and our dedicated staff support students to achieve their maximum potential.
Strathcona Girls Grammar School is a registered provider (CRICOS No: 00577C) on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS). Strathcona is registered to accept a limited number of overseas students studying on a student visa (sub-class 500) from Year 7 to Year 12. Strathcona requires Year 7 and 8 students or those under 13 years of age to be accompanied while living in Australia by a parent or close relative. The minimum age for enrolment of an overseas student in homestay accommodation at Strathcona is 13 years of age. Some families applying from overseas hold either temporary or permanent residency visas. In these cases certain requirements such as accommodation and local support personship do not apply, although other enrolment requirements, for example English language proficiency, are still relevant.

Good Things Come to Those That Wait
All applications are immediately placed on a Waiting List for your preferred year level of entry and you will receive confirmation of this from the Admissions Department. Please see our Enrolment Terms and Conditions for more information.
Enrolment Interview
All enrolments are subject to a successful enrolment interview. The enrolment interview is an informal conversation where we hope to learn more about your daughter, her interests, hobbies and learning strengths. This interview also provides an opportunity for your family to learn more about our school values, offerings, expectations of our students and more.
Letter Of Offer
Once the enrolment interview has been conducted, the School may be in a position to provide a Letter of Offer inviting your child and family to join our community. To accept this place, we require six month’s tuition prepaid and a non-refundable enrolment fee of $500.00 to be submitted, in addition to the completed paperwork, by the specified deadline.
Preparing to Study in Australia
Once the Letter of Offer has been accepted, the school will support you as you prepare for your first day. This may include, raising a CoE, applying for a student visa, organising homestay arrangements (if necessary), preparing medical insurance and more. our International Student Manager is available to support you through this process.
Welcome to Strathcona
Once the required payment and paperwork has been received and processed by our Admissions Department, we will send you a letter confirming your child’s enrolment. Congratulations and we thank you for choosing Strathcona Girls Grammar.

Commencing at a new school signifies a time of growth and tremendous possibilities. Transition, therefore, is of fundamental importance for your child as it ensures they are fully supported as they continue or commence their learning journey with Strathcona. We will be in contact with you in the months leading up to Day 1 as your family prepares to join the School and also throughout the first few weeks of attendance. Many orientation opportunities exist for our new students and we are here to help.
