ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Minimum academic and English language requirements

Academic requirements

International students must provide evidence of academic performance appropriate to enter the Year level requested at application, or offered as an alternative point of entry by CGGS in the offer letter.

Minimum academic requirements to enrol in any of the courses provided by CGGS include a pass level, or ‘C’ grade or better for the majority of core subjects.

Students applying to enter Years 7–10 must have an academic record, placing them in the top 50% of their mathematics, science, and English classes.

English language requirements

CGGS requires evidence of sufficient proficiency in English to meet the curriculum demands successfully. Students should be aware that English competence may influence their results.

All international students applying to enrol at CGGS in Year 5 and above who do not have English as their first language and/or where English is not the language of instruction at their current school must provide evidence of English language proficiency with an AEAS test result. Students enrolling for Years 3 or 4 do not require evidence of English proficiency at application but will be assessed through an interview and review of writing and reading samples.

Students in Years 7–10 who are identified as requiring additional English language support are offered extra teacher assistance within their regular English classroom. Students in Years 11–12 can also study English as an Additional Language (EAL) in either the BSSS or the IBDP. EAL is designed for students whose first language is a language other than English.It is the responsibility of the student and the student’s parent/guardian to contact AEAS and enrol for the English Proficiency test.
