IEC Online

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.
