UNDER 18S

Shafston College is also happy to accept students under 18 years of age (we do not accept students under 16 years old for ELICOS programs), provided they have adequate guardianship arrangements (through a homestay or a relative who will be with them).

If you need Shafston to provide welfare for the student there are separate mandatory arrangements to be made:

Extra care homestay for the whole duration of the studies

Airport greeting and Departure services.

Check-in service at the airport

Shafston takes pride in going the extra mile for our underage students, which includes:

  • 6 weekly progress report and sample of work to be provided to the designated contact
  • Fortnightly welfare meetings

Accommodation and Welfare (CAAW)

  • For students under 18 years of age, Shafston International College accepts responsibility for approving appropriate accommodation, support, and general welfare arrangements via a Confirmation of Appropriate Accommodation and Welfare (CAAW) letter, as required under the National Code 2018, Standard 5.
    Shafston ensures that all under-18 students are placed in approved accommodation (homestay or with a parent/legal guardian) and that welfare arrangements are in place for the duration of their studies and any period covered by the student’s visa.
