An International Campus
The Senior School curriculum is also strengthened with our range of International Immersion Programs. Year 9 students have the opportunity to join the positive, life changing Chiang Mai program where they go to the College’s Sum Pun campus in Thailand for eight weeks. This unique program involves a very exciting suite of challenging and thought-provoking experiences, helping the students to develop their independence, resilience, responsibility and confidence.
Accommodation
Overseas students stay with local Australian families and are looked after by a full time Kardinia Homestay Coordinator. Students experience a full Australian life style and make family friends for life. A guardian is provided free of charge, if required.
Curriculum
Internationalism pervades the whole curriculum with particular emphasis provided by the International Baccalaureate Program. We offer a vertical curriculum based on the guidelines of the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority to students in Years 7-10 and both the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB) and the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) to students in Years 11 and 12.
Kardinia consistently has excellent year 12 academic results with over 30% of students achieving results above 90. The average IB score has consistently converted to an ATAR score of 95 each year.
All overseas students graduating from Kardinia have successfully entered university. Overseas students have enrolled at Universities in Australia, returned to their own country to study at a tertiary level or moved to other international destinations.
