Our Temporary Residents program helps students with a temporary resident visa to study at a Queensland Government primary school, high school or State Delivered Kindergarten.
Students who are temporary resident visa holders, including dependants of international students, bridging visa holders and visitor or tourist visa holders can have different study experiences at a Queensland Government primary school, high school or State Delivered Kindergarten.
They will enjoy a rich learning experience and get a great foundation for further studies later, including at university.
When a student finishes their studies in Queensland, before they go home they can ask that their school reports be validated by us. To find out more, read the Recognition of Queensland school reports fact sheet.
Additional information is available in the Temporary Residents Admissions policy and Temporary Residents Admissions procedure.
If you are not a temporary visa holder, your options for study in Queensland include our Primary School program or High School program, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma program for high achieving students.
Our Temporary Resident program supports international students to learn in a world-class education system while living temporarily in Queensland.
