STUDYING IN AUSTRALIA Australia is a leading global education powerhouse with some of the world’s best facilities and educators, providing international students with a wide range of study options. With an international and modern outlook, Australian education systems are focused on 21st Century learning, preparing students for the challenges of a globally connected and rapidly changing world. We are the third most popular international student destination in the world and are home to eight of the top 100 universities in the world. Australia is consistently ranked in the world’s top ten most liveable countries. To gain the most from studying in Australia, at high school and university level, international students need a strong foundation in English language, both spoken and academic. As importantly, they need to become familiar with – and comfortable in – Australian academic culture, with its philosophical roots in Western critical thinking, personal communication, and intellectual creativity. At PLC Pathways, we believe this is best achieved by immersing students in intensive English language acquisition and cultural familiarisation in a high school environment. For up to a year, PLC Pathways students will live in an Australian school community, doing the groundwork that will ensure their future development, achievement, success and fulfilment in Australian academic study.

PLC PATHWAYS RESIDENCE
PLC 銜接課程的住宿
PLC Armidale has been caring for boarders since its inception in 1887 and our Pathways students will benefit from this long history of personalised care.
自從 1887 年建校以來，阿美代爾 PLC 一直關心著寄 宿生。這種個性化照顧的長期實踐將使我們銜接課程的 寄宿生受益匪淺。
We believe that learning to live, eat, play and study together with girls from different cultures and family circumstances is a unique life experience. Not only does boarding build independence and strong friendships, it also develops resilience, tolerance, empathy and compassion. It prepares girls for life beyond school. PLC Pathways students will reside together in Austin House, a residence set in the College’s seventeen-hectare garden campus. The girls will sleep in dormitories with partitioned personal space, shared bathrooms, and separate study areas. Our experienced and caring staff will provide a home away from home for the Pathways students, creating a safe and happy environment that nurtures a strong sense of family and community. While living in their own boarding house, Pathways students will study alongside our main student body in the classroom precinct. They will join Chapel and Assembly, and eat in the dining room with the rest of the school community. Just like the other boarders at PLC Armidale, Pathways students will be supported in organising and balancing their commitments, and encouraged to develop skills in co-curricular activities such sport and music. A core strength of PLC Armidale is our commitment to pastoral care, which will form a strong foundation of support for Pathways students. Each girl is known as an individual and cared for as a whole person, body, mind and spirit. In our school community everyone works together to create and maintain a caring, supportive environment that encourages resourcefulness and resilience, and fosters a sense of social justice.
我們相信與來自不同文化和家庭環境的女孩共同生活、 吃、玩和學習是一種獨特的生活體驗。寄宿不僅能夠構 筑獨立性格和深厚的友誼，而且能夠培養適應力、耐 力、感同心以及同情心，為女孩步入社會做準備。 PLC 銜接課程的學生將住在奧斯丁宿舍，該宿舍位於 我校 17 公頃花園般的校區。女孩們將睡在有隔斷的宿 舍，合用浴室，並擁有各自隔開的學習區域。 我們富有經驗的、體貼的員工將為我們銜接課程的學生 創造一種安全、快樂的環境，讓您的孩子感受賓至如 歸，以及家和社區的溫暖。 雖然生活在她們自己的寄宿空間，但是銜接課程的學生 將與其她學生一起在教室區域學習。她們將參加禮拜活 動和集會，並與大家一起在餐廳就餐。 正像阿美代爾 PLC 其她寄宿生一樣，我們將幫助銜接 課程的學生安排和平衡她們的各項學習和生活任務，鼓 勵她們在體育和音樂等課外活動中開發潛能。 阿美代爾 PLC 的核心實力是老師關懷，它是我們為銜 接課程的學生提供強大支持的根基。我們視每個女孩為 獨立的個體，關懷整個人的身體、思想和精神。 在我們學校社區，大家都在共同努力創造和維護一個相 互體諒和支持的環境。在這裡我們鼓勵智慧和適應力， 培養公正感。 在這樣的環境裡，我們的學生將被滋養成自尊、自信的 個體。這種積極的教育方式，作為 PLC 銜接教育的一 部分，會體現在我們學習和生活的方方面面。
Within this environment, our students are nurtured to develop self-esteem and confidence, and to grow as individuals. This positive approach is woven into every aspect of life as part of PLC Pathways.

WELCOME FROM THE PRINCIPAL I am delighted to introduce you to PLC Pathways, a new program of PLC Armidale especially established for international students in their middle years of schooling. PLC Pathways is a 12-month residential English Language Intensive Course of Study program (ELICOS). It provides exceptionally high quality teaching and cultural familiarisation, and creates direct pathways for students to further secondary and tertiary study in Australia.
It provides exceptionally high quality teaching and cultural familiarisation, and creates direct pathways so students can advance to further secondary and tertiary study in Australia. 我們的銜接課程為您 的孩子提供超高質量 的教學並幫助她瞭解 熟悉澳洲文化，它是 進入澳洲中學和大學 教育的直通車。
PLC Pathways operates within PLC Armidale, a prestigious Australian school for girls established in 1887. PLC Armidale educates girls to be life long learners, from Pre-Kindergarten to matriculation at Year 12. The College provides an inspirational culture of learning, supporting girls as they develop into young women of substance. We believe that success as a 21st century global citizen requires strength of character and quality of person, not just high examination marks. Since its inception, PLC Armidale has catered for day and boarding students, providing a nurturing environment allowing each girl to focus and flourish in a safe, stable and diverse community. PLC Armidale is located in the magnificent New England district of New South Wales – a location famed for educational excellence as well as a pleasant climate, and a safe and welcoming local community. The College is set amongst beautiful gardens and expansive facilities that allow all our girls to flourish. The College has a strategic alliance with its sister school, PLC Sydney. For me, the most important part of PLC Pathways is that it provides enhanced opportunities for students to move seamlessly into secondary and tertiary education – at high schools such as PLC Armidale and PLC Sydney – and onward into universities such as our close neighbour and partner, the University of New England (UNE). PLC Pathways students will be under the academic and pastoral care of Mr Christopher Spencer, a highly experienced educational leader. Mr Spencer has a strong background in Linguistics, English, History, and Teaching English as a Second Language. As a committed Christian, husband, and father of four daughters, Chris is fully prepared to help every girl in PLC Pathways face the challenges of living and studying away from home – and achieve the best of her ability. We are pleased to be welcoming PLC Pathways students from countries outside Australia to join our academic community. MRS NICOLA TAYLOR Principal

WELCOME FROM THE PLC PATHWAYS DIRECTOR I warmly welcome you to our new program, PLC Pathways. I am excited to be starting my role as the first year of the program begins and our first students arrive in early 2017. We understand the enormous responsibility of looking after young women from outside Australia who are entrusted to our care – and PLC Pathways provides an ideal and safe environment in which our students can flourish. Our approach is holistic. Students will live, learn, socialise and study all in the one place – a prestigious academic centre of learning that has been caring for girls since 1887. Our approach is holistic. Students will live, learn, socialise and study all in the one place – a prestigious academic centre of learning that has been caring for girls since 1887. 我們的教育是全方位 的，您的女兒將在我 們 這 個 始 於 1887 年 就培養卓越女性並享 有盛名的學習環境 裏，生活、學習、社 交和從事研究。
PLC Pathways students will become like a family. Initially two classes, each of no more than 18 students, provides for a highly individual environment. This will allow me to get to know the girls well, and tailor their learning experiences to suit their needs. Our immersive English language program has been carefully structured to ensure girls become proficient in academic and conversational English, and comfortable studying in an Australian institution, while still progressing in their own studies. Our education philosophy is based on 21st Century learning ideals, helping girls develop a deep, critical understanding of western thought. We help our students become more resilient, welcoming of challenges and prepared to think creatively – qualities that are highly valuable in an increasingly competitive and globally connected world. And of course, our focus is on providing seamless and enhanced education pathways so our students may continue their school education at PLC Armidale, PLC Sydney or other Australian high schools of their choice – including those of the same calibre as the PLC schools, with which we are closely networked. This school education will lay the foundations for successful university study in the future – particularly for students matriculating into the University of New England (UNE), our supporter in this program. UNE already has strategic partnerships with several Chinese universities and a very successful international student program. We are also excited about the culture and learning opportunities that your daughters will bring to PLC Armidale. Their presence – and the friendships that will form – will help prepare all our students for their future lives in higher education and work – as part of an increasingly globally connected world, where real understanding of cultural diversity is an essential skill. CHRIS SPENCER Director, PLC Pathways
