Our Intensive English Centres (IEC) enable students to develop English language skills so that they transition to mainstream high school with confidence. From Term 1 2021 (February), students in Years 7-11 who are outside Australia will be able to study with an Intensive English Centre online.
This initiative has been created to allow students to study at an IEC while waiting for Australian borders to reopen.
Applications for IEC Online have now closed.
Teaching and learning
IEC Online will be taught by our Intensive English Centres. English will be taught through the core areas of the NSW curriculum by our qualified and experienced IEC teachers. Classes will be run through the Zoom videoconferencing platform.
Daily schedule
Classes will be held Monday to Friday for four hours each day, plus rest breaks. Classes will start between 10:00am and 11:00am (AEDT) to allow for differences in timezones.
Progression
Successful completion of IEC Online will have the same progression outcomes as completion of IEC in NSW.
