Each year we welcome boarding students from all over the world to our campus. These students come from as far afield as China, Japan, Germany, South East Asia, USA, Europe and South America. Many of the students opt for home stay with some preferring to board at the School. We can cater for about 40 boys in the Jaffray House facility and 20 girls in Heather Reilly House. In addition to our boarders, we regularly have cultural student exchange tours passing through the School for 2-3 week visits.

Our international students provide a diverse range of interests and backgrounds which gives the local students a completely different outlook to the world in which they live. During the school year there are a number of special events which celebrate the various cultures of our international students. For the rest of the time they participate in school life along with the rest of the local student body.

Peninsula boasts its own English Language Centre where staff assist new boarders to come to grips with the English language and the Australian way of life. In addition, the School runs the VCE program through 5 different centres throughout China and is one of the most respected deliverers of the VCE program in that country.

We are a major sponsor of a newly developed school in a not so wealthy area of India. Also known as The Peninsula School, in recognition of our sponsorship, it has grown in leaps and bounds over the past few years.

All this considerable activity, both in Australia and overseas, is ably managed by our International Department, situated at the Mt. Eliza campus.

For those with a penchant for the French way of life we have regular cultural exchange tours with Notre Dame Les Oiseaux de Verneuil, a school situated on the outskirts of Paris. The exchange tours are conducted annually, with each school taking a turn about at either hosting or traveling.

The Peninsula School’s International Director will be visiting the following countries as listed.

September 2008 - Hong Kong, China & Vietnam
November 2008 - China & India
