ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

International Students Entry Requirements

International students, including overseas students studying on a 500 Student Visa, are required to provide a copy of their:

• Birth Certificate
• Passport
• Visa details
• Evidence of their English proficiency.

An Application Fee of $550 for overseas students on a 500 Student Visa is payable upon submission of the Enrolment Application Form.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY

International students whose first language is not English and have been studying in Australia for less than one year, will be required to sit an English assessment with Australian Education Assessment Services (AEAS) to show evidence of their English competency. Ravenswood does not offer conditional places. An AEAS must be submitted before a place can be offered.

All costs associated with AEAS testing are to be paid by the family/student. Please refer to the AEAS website  for indicative costing and a description of the testing. AEAS is the only recognised testing procedure used by Ravenswood for students currently studying overseas. An English course may be required if the required level of proficiency is not met, followed by reassessment through AEAS.

In order for the application of an international student to be accepted at Ravenswood, 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%
