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.

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.

  • 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.

(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 Curriculum and Tutor Group Teacher. They will also be assigned a buddy to assist them with attending classes during their first days at The Glennie School.
