Homestay
Living in a homestay allows students to truly immerse themselves in the English language and Australian culture, generally resulting in a more rapid uptake of English language skills.
Arrival Support
Support for our international students begins the moment of arrival at Melbourne airport. This ensures students adjust and have a smooth transition. We focus on building trust right from the beginning of their journey which no doubt plays an irreplaceable role in supporting their study in the future. Staff from our International Student Program meet new students outside customs at the airport and transport them to their designated homestay on the day of arrival. Our experienced program administrator will assist students in setting up a bank account, travel card and sim card for their phone within the first week. They will also show students around the local area to familiarise them with the local amenities.
安顿服务
在瓦尔特纳中学，我们坚信：帮助学生平稳过度和适应环境是从他们抵达墨尔本那一刻开始。同时我们也相信，与学生的互信关系将在今后协助学生学习和生活中至关重要。就此，学校会在您孩子抵达墨尔本时，安排会说中文的国际学生部门老师去接机，并将学生直接送达他们的寄宿家庭，引荐双方，帮助孩子安顿。此外，我们经验丰富的住家也将会在开学之前带着学生熟悉周围的居住环境，开通银行账户以及安排接通电话等事宜。
Home Away From Home
A caring host family for international students is a priority in ensuring a successful outcome for their study abroad experience. We began our International Student Program in 1997 and have maintained great relationships with many of our experienced homestays over the past 20 years. Our homestays families go above and beyond in assisting our international students to ensure they have a comfortable and warm place after school so that they can focus on their learning.
In order to provide high quality service, we have a rigorous selection process including extensive criminal record and background checks and bi-annual homestay visit.
家外之家
选择一个合适的住宿家庭并照顾好一个远离家乡的学生尤其重要。瓦尔特纳中学在97年就开始了国际学生项目，在这20年间，我们在学校附近发展了一批优秀的寄宿家庭为学生提供良好的居住条件，为学生适应新生活环境和在学校达到优秀的学习成绩建立坚实的基础。
