HIGH QUALITY TRAINING PROGRAM

The New South Wales Government Schools offers students diverse, and internationally standardized training programs to provide theoretical knowledge combined with extracurricular and practical training. The school always focuses on developing and perfecting students’ skills to help them identify their interests, passions and strengths, thereby equipping a solid foundation to prepare for higher levels of study. In addition, the curriculum also helps students develop English skills to confidently communicate and integrate into the learning environment through a variety of subjects with compulsory subjects and elective subjects according to interests.

More than 25% of international students in the New South Wales government school system achieve outstanding results and are recognised on the Higher School Certificate (HSC) Honour Roll each year.

OUTSTANDING TEACHING TEAM AND EFFECTIVE CLASSROOM MODEL

The teaching staff at the New South Wales public school system all have university degrees and are certified by the New South Wales Education Standards Authority (NESA). With effective and engaging teaching methods, the teaching staff always encourages students to actively participate in exchanges and discussions during the learning process to increase their thinking and creativity, thereby making it easy to evaluate and orient students right from the start to equip them with essential knowledge to be ready for the future.

Primary and secondary schools at NSW Government Schools will have approximately 25-30 students per class, and high schools will have approximately 15-25 students per class. The small class size will help teachers closely monitor students during their learning process, quickly improve knowledge in weak subjects and encourage students to maximize their strengths in subjects.

MODERN FACILITIES AND GLOBAL INTEGRATION OPPORTUNITIES

Students will have the opportunity to study and experience modern equipment in Virtual Learning Environments, practice using 3D printers as well as robotics labs, etc. This will help provide more realistic, intuitive learning experiences, and cultivate the necessary skills of a global young generation when accessing technology in the learning process. One of the factors that helps students have the best preparation for their future study and work goals in the technology era.

Studying at the New South Wales public school system, students will have the opportunity to integrate into an international and multicultural environment when the school welcomes more than 220,000 international students from 190 countries around the world to study here.
