Boarding

We know there is a lot to learn and manage when growing as a young woman. That is why, at Glennie, we take seriously our responsibility of creating a comfortable, nurturing and private second home for our International boarders, where they feel capable to immerse themselves in all there is on offer inside and outside of school life.  The Glennie boarding community is lively, inclusive and cohesive; fostering strong and supportive relationships with each girl and her family. Whether your daughter is an extrovert or a little more reserved, she will be welcomed into the Glennie family and embraced for who she is.

International boarding students are accommodated in our boarding houses. It is a requirement of The Glennie School that international day students stay with a 'nominated guardian' approved by the Department of Home Affairs. Homestay is only offered during school holidays for international boarding students.

Homestay

The Glennie School uses the experience of the Australian Homestay Network (AHN) to ensure a smooth homestay program is an option for international students during the school holiday periods. Like boarding, a homestay environment can assist International Students to improve English language skills, and they can also experience living in a family situation and immersing themselves in the Australian culture and way of life.

Student safety and wellbeing are a priority to The Glennie School, not only during their time at school but also within their homestay environment. Regular monitoring by the school and its representatives, ensure that the level of care expected by The Glennie School is met.

* Medical Information: It is important that parents understand The Glennie School needs to have full details of any medical or psychological condition that requires medication or medical supervision, and any learning difficulties or special needs a student may have.

NOTE: Where the above documents are not in English, certified translations in English are required, with necessary costs to be met by the applicant.

IMPORTANT:  The Glennie School will assess all applications for course credit for students enrolling in Senior Secondary Studies.  The student may receive course credit for units completed based on evidence provided of studies undertaken under the relevant state or territory curriculum assessment authority or nationally accredited framework.  The Glennie School assesses and records course credit, according to requirements of the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA).

Step 2:

• The Principal will review the enrolment application.
• An interview via Skype/Google Meet will need to be arranged with a member of the Senior Leadership Team. The purpose of this interview is to converse with the student in English, discuss the school and student expectations, discuss accommodation and welfare, refer the student to relevant policies, subjects and appropriate year level curriculum, extra-curricular activities, and address any questions the student may have.

Step 3:

• The school will notify the student if they can be accepted for Direct Entry or will be required to undertake an ELICOS Course or a High School Preparation Program (HSPP) prior to beginning mainstream studies. If an ELICOS Course or HSPP is required, evidence of enrolment must be provided to the school.

• Once the application has been accepted, the student will be issued:
  • Letter of Offer outlining fees payable upfront including Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), accommodation, entry requirements and course details.
  • Written Agreement outlining total estimated fees for the duration of the enrolment (tuition and non-tuition fees), special conditions (if any), relevant policies around refund, welfare and accommodation, course attendance and progress, visa requirement for enrolment as an international student and privacy.
  • The school Medical Form.

Step 5:

• The parent(s)/legal guardian(s) and the student sign and return the Written Agreement with confirmation of fees quoted in the Letter of Offer. Parent(s)/Guardian(s) may choose to pay more than 50% of total fees in which case a separate invoice will be issued.

IMPORTANT: if an agent is involved, they cannot sign documents nor make fee payments on behalf of the student or their parent(s)/legal guardian(s).

Step 6:

• On receipt of payment and return of signed Enrolment Acceptance/Written Agreement, the school will issue a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) and Confirmation of Accommodation and Welfare (CAAW) via PRISMS for the period the student is to be enrolled at The Glennie School. These documents will be emailed to the student’s agent or parent(s)/legal guardian(s).

Step 7:

• Student applies for the student visa and notifies the school when it is granted.
• Forward a copy to the Registrar at: enrol@glennie.qld.edu.au

  The student will need to purchase uniforms, school supplies and hire textbooks from the Glennie One Stop Shop (GOSS):
  • For all uniform requirements, both summer and winter, the student will need to consider spending approximately AUD$2500.00 to purchase all necessary uniforms, stationery, equipment and other requirements to begin attending classes. (This cost is based on the purchase of new items and may vary depending on individual circumstances).
  • Payment is made directly to the Glennie One Stop Shop, therefore the student will need to have direct access to these funds or have made arrangements for the purchase of these requirements.
• Note: It is recommended that parents deposit approx AUD$500.00 to be used for any medical costs as required.

Step 10:

• On the first day at school, the student will meet with the Head of Boarding, Head of House and Wellbeing Teacher. They will also be assigned a buddy to assist them with attending classes during their first days at The Glennie School.
