ADMISSION PROCESS

We welcome all International enquiries, please note our following requirements:

1. Tintern Grammar will offer places only if International students have gained an acceptable level of proficiency in English, for the year level requested. This is determined by a test conducted by the Australian Education Assessment Services (AEAS), and an interview with the School (supporting evidence may also progress the enrolment).
2. For entry into Year 9 an AEAS score of 60 or higher is required, for entry into Years 10 and 11 an AEAS score of 70 or higher is required.
3. Tintern Grammar accepts International students from Prep to Year 12, however International Students enrolling from Prep to Year 8 are required to be accompanied and live with one, or both parents under a Guardian Visa. This condition is not negotiable.
4. Our preferred level of entry to senior years is Year 9, or Year 10. We sometimes accept students directly into Year 11, however this is subject to sufficient English skills to cope with the curriculum and academic results to support Year 11 entry. Similarly, students entering the School who have already commenced an International Baccalaureate, must satisfy Tintern Grammar they are capable of continuing the rigorous IB program in English, without disruption to their studies.
5. We will only consider applications after receiving original school report documents, a copy of the student’s current passport and evidence of a satisfactory knowledge of English (see above). A copy of a report from Australian Education Assessment Services (AEAS) should be provided with the student’s application form.
6. Every student applying for enrolment at Tintern Grammar will be interviewed. Places are offered subject to the result of the interview, sufficient English for year level study and suitable academic reports or transcripts. Importantly, an applicant’s attitude, behaviour, willingness to learn and participate in school activities will also be considered.
