Find a school and apply

1. Think about your level of English and whether 10 weeks of study will be enough, or you’ll need more.
2. If studying at a Brisbane school, the school offered will be based on where you plan to study high school – Indooroopilly State High School, Whites Hill State College or Mitchelton State High School.
3. Find an agent to get advice and help preparing your application or submit your application directly with us.

* There might be some rules about going to a specific school close to the student’s home address in Queensland—this is called a catchment area. Find out more about school catchments.
