Orientation

At Highgate International College, we understand the challenges of being away from your family and familiar surroundings. We recognize that adjusting to a new routine and environment can be difficult. That is why we are dedicated to ensuring your stay in Australia is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.​

As part of our commitment to our students, we offer comprehensive support and guidance. We provide incoming students with essential information about what to expect when they commence their studies in Australia. Every new student is required to attend an Orientation Program before starting their course at Highgate International. An invitation, including the date, time, and venue of the Orientation Program, will be sent via email to the student or their representative. We believe that this program will help you transition smoothly into your academic journey with us.​
