  • Up to 400 hours of tuition may be provided to humanitarian entrants aged between 16 and 24 years who have 7 or less years of education.

Student testimonials

I like to study with other people not the same language as me. The youth program helps me to communicate with other people from different countries. I like to learn about technology like Photo story and the Internet. You will make a lot of friends and go on excursions and you can see a lot of things you haven’t seen before.

I think you will like to join in the youth class because it’s easy to learn with classmates the same age as you. We get a lot of knowledge about Australian life you will not only have nice classmates but also friendly teachers. It’s great!!!
