International Student Programme

For the second year in a row, our International Student Programme (ISP) won the StudyTravel Secondary School Award (Australia/New Zealand).

“To win an award voted on by our Education Agents, the very people recommending schools to families across the globe, is incredibly humbling, and a great indicator of the quality of our programme.”

Leeanne Moriarty, Manager, International Marketing and Enrolments

“Having the opportunity to speak directly to the Australian Trade Commission and Education Agents in Vietnam was an experience that filled me with pride. It is an easy task to speak highly of our International Student Programme because I know we provide a world-class standard.”

Andrew Balkwill, Principal

In 2023, our 55 year anniversary of the ISP, Mercedes College will host 50 international students from 12 nations, and we look forward to celebrating this milestone with them in ways that have a global flavour.

I have always felt welcome and embraced by everyone at Mercedes College. I have become confident, caring, loving, independent, and strong. Thank you, Mercedes

College, I will never forget my wonderful time here. ’’

“It was amazing for our students to share their PYP learning about ocean pollution and microplastics with students from Vietschool all the way over in Hanoi, Vietnam, who are researching a similar topic. We look forward to building this wonderful international relationship in the years to come.”
