About school
An Independent Catholic Boarding and Day School for Senior Students located in the scenic Southern Highlands of NSW, St. Paul's International College offers Senior Secondary as well as University Foundation Courses to boarding and day students drawn from a range of Australian and international backgrounds. The College is concerned with academic excellence - providing excellent facilities and stimulating environment for learning, ensuring mastery of language and IT skills as tools for learning and communication, all-round development, fostering Christian moral values, cultivating leadership, creativity and critical thinking and providing a happy and collaborative atmosphere for growth. The College also provides Pastoral Care, stimulating the spiritual and emotional growth of students, leading them to develop a positive regard for self and others and cultivating the spirit of service, a sense of responsibility and a positive attitude toward life. Courses offered are ELICOS (English Language Bridging Course for Secondary School Preparation), High School Courses (Yr 9 & 10 NSW School Certificate, Preliminary and Year 12 HSC), EAP (English for Academic Purpose in preparation for UFY) and UNSW Foundation Year (Commerce stream and Science stream). At St. Paul’s, we aim to equip our students with the skills to meet the many and varied challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Our students are drawn from a broad range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Here, they are able to gain a clearer understanding of and respect for difference while celebrating and strengthening the values that we all share — goodness, truth, love — in an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect. In so doing, they widen their intellectual horizons and build an awareness of their individual and collective responsibilities as global citizens. With Australia’s long-term prosperity becoming focused more and more closely on Asia, St. Paul’s provides students with the academic qualifications and opportunities to obtain the cultural skills and sensitivities that will become increasingly important in a world of international interdependence.
