Catholic Education South Australia is committed to reconciliation and improving the learning and life outcomes of our students, ensuring that:
CESA’s Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Education policy outlines our commitment. Our Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Education team provides key input into development of curriculum and support services through Catholic Education SA.
We know how important it is to support students from overseas to study in our schools, along with meeting the needs of students enrolled in our schools who have English as an additional language.
Catholic Education welcomes international students to South Australia.
The following is a list of CRICOS (Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students) registered schools that offer international student programs. These schools are all located in metropolitan Adelaide, except for Tenison Woods College in country South Australia.
Please contact your school of interest via the links below for specific information relating to courses, enrolment, fees and accommodation.
Learners of English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D) are children and young people whose main home language is a language or dialect other than Standard Australian English (SAE).
In our schools they are simultaneously learning a new language and learning the knowledge, understandings and skills of the curriculum through this new language. EALD learners have the same capacity to learn and understand the curriculum as other learners, however they require informed support with the English language and cultural understandings required to successfully access the curriculum and to demonstrate their achievement.
Effective partnerships between schools, families and CEO personnel involve a shared responsibility for student learning and wellbeing within the whole school community.
Catholic Education SA is committed to the inclusion of all students.
We acknowledge that students with disabilities may have additional needs in the school setting. In response an Enrolment and Support Process ESP has been developed to support families and schools and reflect our legal obligations.
As a parent/carer you know your own child and his/her needs.
The Special Education consultants, family and the school work in partnership throughout the enrolment process.
