Our language courses are designed to prepare students linguistically and academically for participation in Australian high school and university programmes. The teachers, trained and experienced in teaching English as a second and foreign language, focus on the skills necessary for overseas students to achieve their academic goals.

The St. Paul's International College (Bridging) Course is a 30-hour-per-week programme that provides intensive English instruction in the areas of:

•   Speaking

•   Reading

•   Writing

•   Listening

Academic subjects in the areas of Religion, Mathematics, Computing, Science and Social Science are also included.

Classes are highly structured and class numbers are restricted, enabling each student to achieve his/her personal best. The English Language (Bridging) Course classes at the College are dynamic, motivating environments. Students are given ample opportunity to learn and use English relevant to future study pathways, cultural integration and their successful functioning in the College environment.
