Support & Facilities

Student Support

Our staff are aware of the special requirements of international students. The Student Support Services team has extensive experience in helping students in their study, curriculum planning, academic progress, language, social and health support and vocational direction.

Students can study and relax in our safe and caring school environment. They are encouraged to develop personal values compatible with their family expectations and ethnic or religious backgrounds.

We want to make sure each student has the opportunity to achieve her personal best. For this reason, we are in contact with the authorities of the Universities, Polytechnics, Welfare and Immigration Departments to ensure students have minimal stress during their time with us.
