New arrivals to Australia for whom English is an additional language
It should be noted that students who have arrived in Australia from predominantly Non-English Speaking Countries (NESCs) will also be tested by the school within the first few weeks of beginning at University High School. This helps ensure that students are placed in the correct classes and receive any additional assistance to support their learning.
Some students may be advised to attend a language school for more intensive English learning before re-enrolling at University High School (ongoing eligibility will need to be verified).
