Eligibility
for Overseas Study
According to Australian law, all international students must have a valid visa for the duration of their studies in Australia and most international students require a student visa.
There are several types of student visas and visa subclass 500 is for international students applying to study in Australia in a primary, junior secondary or senior secondary school.
St Peter’s College is a registered provider of education for international students on a student visa. Our CRICOS provider number is 01535E.

Our full course selection is available to students on other types of visas. The type of visa determines whether the student is classified as a full-fee paying overseas student (FFPOS) or whether they are charged domestic tuition fees. Students on a student visa subclass 500 are classified as FFPOS.
