For more information about the International Student program at Oakleigh Grammar, please consult our International Student Handbook here:
Academic requirements: Students must show that they have been consistent in their academic studies over a two (2) year period. As a general guide, students studying English as an additional Language should be achieving a 75% average. Students should average 70% in all other subjects. It is important that parents and students understand the need for high level English schools especially when entering the senior levels in all subject areas.
English Requirements: After the Application for Enrolment has been completed and submitted, and prior to a place being offered, the applicant will be assessed for their English language proficiency.
Applicants from recognised English-speaking countries or those who have undertaken English-medium education since Grade One, may be exempt from submitting formal English language test results. Notwithstanding this exemption, the School will conduct an internal assessment of the student’s literacy skills, undertaken by relevant teaching staff (e.g., English teachers), to determine appropriate academic support and placement. Documentary evidence must be provided to support the exemption claim. This may include a copy of the applicant’s passport and/or an official letter from the previous school confirming English as the language of instruction.
All students from a Non-English Speaking Background (NESB) seeking enrolment at Oakleigh Grammar will be interviewed by appropriate staff, such as the International Student Specialist. Applicants are also required to provide evidence of English language proficiency, such as results from the Australian Education Assessment Services (AEAS) test.
Australian Education Assessment Services (AEAS). The AEAS Assessment has been specifically developed for international Primary and Secondary school students wishing to study in Australia. The AEAS Assessment includes English Language Proficiency (2 hours), Mathematical Reasoning Ability (30-45 minutes) and Non-Verbal General Ability (30 minutes approximately). Information on how to apply and the test fee can be found at http://www.aeas.com.au/. Completed test papers are forwarded by the representatives to Melbourne, Australia, for marking. AEAS will forward a completed assessment report to Oakleigh Grammar, the parents and the overseas representative. Upon receipt of the report, Oakleigh Grammar will advise the student through the appropriate representative, of the result of their application.
Offer of a place: The offer of a place at Oakleigh Grammar is conditional upon the applicant’s AEAS test results and recommendations. Where AEAS recommends that a student undertake an intensive English language course, the student must complete the required English program prior to commencing studies at Oakleigh Grammar. Alternative English proficiency tests, such as IELTS, may be considered.
However, applicants must achieve an equivalent standard to the required AEAS benchmark, in accordance with the following minimum entry standards:
| Year Level | AEAS | IELTS |
|---|---|---|
| Year 6 & 7 | 45 - 50 | 4.0 - 4.5 |
| Year 8 & 9 | 55 - 60 | 5 - 5.5 |
| Year 10 and above | 65 and above | 5.5 and above |
Academic requirements: Given the developmental nature of academic progression at the primary level, academic reports from the preceding two (2) years are required. These reports are used to provide background information for teaching staff to identify and implement appropriate academic support for international students, rather than to serve as a selection benchmark.
English Requirements: Junior School applicants will undergo an interview and internal assessment conducted by qualified staff, in alignment with the Victorian Curriculum F–10 English as an Additional Language (EAL) framework. Where deemed necessary based on the assessment outcome, international students may be required to complete an approved intensive English language program prior to commencing their studies at Oakleigh Grammar.
Oakleigh Grammar has a number of non-English speaking students who integrate well in our School Community with assistance from a number of our teaching staff. Our international students are able to practise their English speaking and writing skills through full immersion.
Our School is committed to supporting and integrating all of our students who speak English as an Additional Language, or other languages into meaningful learning programs through English-medium approaches. It is important for these students both educationally and emotionally to settle into Oakleigh Grammar, as we integrate them into our learning community.
The goals for students learning English as an Additional Language are the same as those of their English-speaking peers. However, the way that they reach these goals are often different. These students require additional English language support, extra time to complete activities, support and varied exposure to English in a range of contexts before traditional assessment is entirely appropriate.
Our short-term study tours offer a deep dive into Australian culture, language, and school life. Each itinerary blends classroom experiences with hands-on excursions, such as visits to Melbourne’s cultural landmarks and local community projects.
Students improve their English in real-world settings while making friends from across the globe. Tours are fully escorted, with flexible durations ranging from one to ten weeks.
Short Study Tour places are extremely limited based on year-level capacity - please contact Samantha Zhang at shortstudy@oakleighgrammar.vic.edu.au for more information.
We partner with the Australian Homestay Network (AHN) to place you with caring, background-checked host families.
Living in an Australian home accelerates language learning and provides authentic insights into daily life.
Our dedicated welfare team offers 24/7 support— organising orientation, checking in regularly, and coordinating any extra help you need. You’ll always have a local contact to turn to, ensuring your time here is safe, enjoyable, and enriching.
