Course Selection

Guidance is given to students in selecting an appropriate course of study. Taradale High School provides the opportunity for multiple level study. This means that subjects can be studied at different levels suited to the ability of the student.

In Class Support

Teacher Aides provide help to students in their mainstream classes. This improves understanding and gives students more opportunity of achieving success.

Insurance

Students are required to have travel and medical insurance which can be arranged through the school. Our preferred provider is www.uni-care.org

Visas

Tuition and Accommodation fees must be paid before a visa is granted. The school can assist with visa applications and renewal of student permits.
