Admissions

Description

Coomera Anglican College is a co-educational day school and was established in 1997 specifically designed around a beautiful 10-hectare site. Modern buildings, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities have been constructed to keep up with the growth and development of the College, designed to harmonize with the natural bush land surroundings. Coomera Anglican College and Coomera Training College is set in a safe, clean and natural environment. The College is open to all students supportive of the College ethos, regardless of their ethnic or religious origins.

Coomera Anglican College accepts international students from Prep to Year12. We work closely with a reputable Homestay Agency to ensure that students travelling alone are well cared for in the home of a local family.

Secondary students must have completed a High School Preparation course prior to entering Coomera Anglican College, to help them assimilate to life in Australian schools and feel more confident with their English language skills. Upon enrollment students enter classes with local students and receive some specialist English support classes each week as part of their programme. This immersion into Australian culture and English language for international students has enabled many students to progress to University education upon graduation.
