Welcoming students from overseas
In addition to overseas boarders, we extend enrolment opportunities to the daughters of overseas visitors holding suitable business or temporary visas issued by the Department of Home Affairs.
Kambala is a registered CRICOS provider (02284M) offering limited placements for Full Fee Paying Overseas students. Full Fee-Paying Overseas students are required to obtain a Student Visa to attend school in Australia, excluding Australian or New Zealand citizens, permanent or temporary residents, or refugees.
Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency and will undergo testing through the Australian Education Assessment Services (AEAS), either in their home country or in Australia.
ENTRY POINTS AND ELIGIBILITY
Kambala caters for overseas students from Preparation to Year 12. Junior and Senior Schools are for girls only.
Junior School
There are eight years of junior schooling at Kambala. Students commence in Preparation (girls must have turned four by 31 March to be eligible for entry), continue to Kindergarten (start of compulsory education in New South Wales) and then Years 1 to 6. Students attending Kambala on a student visa must be over six years of age. Younger students can only enrol if a parent has a suitable dependant visa.
It is necessary for all overseas students enrolled at Kambala to be living with at least one parent or grandparent for the duration of their early learning and junior school enrolment.
Senior School
There are six years of secondary schooling. Students are usually 12 years old at the start of Year 7. Overseas students must be less than 19 years of age when they commence Year 11. Overseas students will only be admitted to Year 11 studies at the commencement of the local school year in January. In Years 11 and 12 students have the option to study either the New South Wales Higher School certificate (HSC) or the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IB). Both courses are two years in duration with final examinations taken in October/November of Year 12. Both courses are recognised internationally and are essential for a student seeking university entry.
Our Future Pathways Advisor, Deputy Principal- Academic and Head of Academic Life will assist students in course and subject selection.
