International Student Program

At Sunnybank State High School, we offer a diverse range of international study programs to cater to students from around the world. Whether you're looking to complete your high school education in Queensland, experience Australian culture, or explore new academic subjects, we have a program that suits your needs.

High School Program

The High School program is designed for students seeking to graduate high school in Queensland and qualify for university or further study in Australia or another country.

Course Options:

• Full 6-year program
• Junior High School (Years 7–10)
• Senior High School (Years 11–12)

Students who successfully complete Years 11 and 12 will receive the internationally recognized Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE), which qualifies them for university admission or further study.

Study Abroad Program

Our Study Abroad program lets you have a short high school study experience in Australia and learn about our culture, study subjects that interest you which you can't study in your home country. You can decide whether you stay for 1 term (3 months) or up to 4 terms (12 months).

During your stay, you'll typically be accommodated in homestay settings, allowing you to experience Australian life first-hand. This program is a great way to explore a new environment while continuing your studies.

Study Tours

Our Study Tours program is designed for international student groups, providing a glimpse into the Queensland education system. It gives them a small taste of what it's like to study in a Queensland Government school, enriches their education and helps improve their English. It also introduces them to Australian culture and local students and helps them to develop long-lasting friendships. 

The content of this program is usually negotiated between EQI (Education Queensland International) and the schools. For more detailed information please visit: https://eqi.com.au/study-options/study-tours or contact : StudyTours.EQI@qed.qld.gov.au.
