The Australian school year commences in late January and concludes in late November / early December.  It is recommended that students commence their studies at the beginning of a school year or the beginning of a term.  Term dates for the College can be found here.

The Department of Home Affairs website provides information about Student Visa applications and requirements. Students must comply with the requirements of the Department of Immigration and Citizenship in regard to regulations governing international student entry to Australia.

For students who will not be living with a family member, Moreton Bay College arranges a suitable, caring homestay family who will assist you with settling into life in Australia. This placement will be organised through the College. Homestay families are kind and caring people who provide a home for a visiting overseas student. Living with a family is an invaluable part of the learning experience. Students have their own bedroom with study facilities, have all meals supplied, washing and ironing facilities and access to transport to and from school and co-curricular activities. All homestay families are Blue Card checked and a 24-hour hotline is available. For more information on homestay, please refer to Homestay Programme on our website.

Moreton Bay Boys' College has several policies and procedures in relation to International students.  Please see our Policies Page.
