The School is approved by the Australian government to offer primary and secondary school courses to overseas students who are in Australia studying on a subclass 500 visa (a student visa). The GGS Overseas Student Programme supports these overseas students in their study at GGS between ELC and Year 12. Overseas students at GGS come from a variety of countries across the world, including China, Malaysia, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, USA, UK, Germany, Austria, France, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
As an education provider offering courses to overseas students, the School must comply with legislation and regulations, called the Education for Overseas Student (ESOS) Framework.
The Framework ensures that the School meet nationally consistent standards in education delivery, facilities and services, and provides tuition fee protection for international students. This importantly includes standards on accommodation and care for overseas students aged under 18 years old and where they are not in Australia with their parents on a DHA approved relative.
