Studying in regional Western Australia offers real advantages for international students. Our South West location provides a safe, clean and friendly environment with a strong sense of community, excellent air quality and a relaxed Mediterranean climate.
Being just two hours from Perth, students enjoy the benefits of a regional setting without isolation - including smaller class sizes, closer relationships with teachers and a calmer pace of life that supports focus and wellbeing. Our time zone (GMT+8) also allows convenient communication with families across Asia, making it easier to stay connected.
Life at Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School is shaped by our natural surroundings. From bushland walks to swimming in the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, students experience an authentically Australian lifestyle that builds confidence, independence and resilience.
Our Outdoor Education and Camps Program is carefully sequenced from Year 7 to Year 12, beginning with introductory camps and building through multi-day hiking, paddling and climbing expeditions in regional Western Australia, before culminating in senior experiences including Country Week, curriculum-based camps and university familiarisation.
Academic strength sits at the heart of our International Student Program. Students benefit from a personalised learning environment that balances high expectations with individual care.
Our academic program offers:
Students are supported to achieve strong academic results while developing confidence, independence and clear future direction.
English proficiency varies from student to student, and our approach is designed to meet each learner where they are.
International students receive access to:
English language learning is fully integrated into school life, ensuring students build confidence both in and beyond the classroom.
International students are supported by a strong wellbeing network designed to help them settle quickly and feel at home. A dedicated International Student Coordinator works closely with students and families, while pastoral care staff, counsellors, a School Psychologist and a Social Worker provide ongoing support.
Our buddy program pairs international students with local peers, helping friendships form naturally and creating a sense of belonging from the very beginning. With a warm, inclusive culture and students from diverse backgrounds, international students are welcomed into school life - not set apart from it.
For many international students, boarding becomes a second home. Our cottage-style model is designed to provide warmth, structure and a strong sense of belonging.
Boarding at Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School includes:
Strong routines, caring staff and a close-knit environment help students settle quickly and feel supported while living away from home.
Situated in the heart of WA’s South West region, our expansive bushland campus is the ideal setting for young minds to thrive. Book an in-person tour or explore it virtually.
