The International Program at Kurnai College provides high quality education for international students. This is done in an environment designed specifically for senior students. Kurnai College’s senior campus is built within the grounds of Federation University’s Gippsland Campus; there are no distractions from junior students. Kurnai College students have access to university services such as the student union and cafeteria, the library and sporting facilities. Federation University students are also available to coach Kurnai College students free of charge.
If you are required to do a language program before beginning your Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) studies this can also be done at Kurnai College’s Language Centre. There is no need to start your studies at one school and then change school (and sometimes living arrangements) to finish your VCE. The Language Centre and its qualified staff ensure that new students get the appropriate grounding in English while meeting and working with the students who will be their classmates in the future. If necessary, further support in English is available for students after they have completed their language program.
At Kurnai College, we understand that while a high quality education is important when choosing a school, it is also important that you are in an environment where you feel safe and supported. The school is located in an area used to catering for international students. There are also College staff who speak Mandarin and Japanese. These staff assit with everyday needs, act as a link between the student and their teachers, and can speak directly to parents about progress. They also understand the cultural needs of international students and can help them make the shift from home to living and studying in Australia.

カーナイカレッジのインターナショナルプログラムは留学生にとても高いクオリティーを提供しています。このプログラムは高校生のために特別にデザインされたものです。カーナイカレッジの高校部門はフェデレーション大学のギップスランドキャンパス内に位置し、カーナイカレッジの学生は大学生組合の施設やカフェテリア、図書館・スポーツ施設などの大学のサービスを利用できます。そして希望すればフェデレーション大学の生徒がカーナイカレッジの生徒には無料で家庭教師もしてくれます。
もしあなたがVCEの勉強を始める前に英語の集中プログラムを受けることを希望すれば、これも同じくカーナイカレッジ内にある言語センターで受講することができます。なのであなたはVCEを終了するまで学校そしてホームステイをかわる必要がありません。（同じ場所で最後まで勉強することができるということです。）この言語センターでは資格を持ったスタッフが生徒たちに適切な指導でこれから英語を学んでいくために必要な基盤を教え、それと同時に将来一緒に学校生活を送ることになるクラスメイトたちともめぐり合うことができます。そしてこの言語センターでの勉強を終了した後でも、必要があれば続けて英語のサポートを受けることができます。
私たちカーナイカレッジは学校を選ぶ上でその学校が高いクオリティーを持っているということはもちろん重要な事ですが、生徒をその学校に送ることに対して安全でそして皆様が学校のサポートを信頼できるということもとても重要なことだと思っております。学校が位置する地域は大学のキャンパス内という位置関係から留学生の対応に慣れています。そして学校にはマンダリンと日本語を話すスタッフもいます。これらのスタッフが毎日生徒の疑問に答え、教師と生徒の間に立って説明し、必要であれば保護者の方にも生徒の経過を伝えます。彼らは留学生のその国々の習慣についても理解し、生徒たちが母国を離れてオーストラリアで生活し勉強していくための手助けもします。
科耐中学的国际学生项目为来自世界各地的留学生们提供了高质量的教育。科耐的高中校区与澳大利亚联邦大学的吉普斯兰校区相连，形成一体。又是很密切的合作伙伴，科耐中学的学生可以享用联邦大学的很多资源，比如：学生会服务，咖啡馆，图书馆和各种体育运动设施等。此外，联邦大学的大学生们还可以为科耐的高中生们做无偿的功课补习和辅导。
如果在你正式进入澳大利亚维州中学学习之前，你需要读语言强化课程时，科耐中学也是最佳选择。在科耐语言培训中心完成必要的语言课程可以省去了在两地奔波的不便（语言学校和中学），食宿安排上的麻烦。我们的语言培训中心有优秀又尽责的教师。这些教师会保证在此就读的留学生们英语能力的提高，以便同学之间能够顺利交流，共同工作和学习。值得一提的是，在就读语言中心期间，留学生们所结识的学生又是他们在语言课程结束后步入中学时的同学，而且以澳大利亚本地学生居多，所以，这更有益于在此学习语言的留学生们快速提高语言水平，快速融入当地生活，建立融洽的同学关系。如果需要的话，一些学生在读完语言课之后仍然可以得到英语语言上的帮助。
科耐中学深深地理解国际学生在选择学校时，教育的高质量是十分重要的，但是安全的环境及多方面提供帮助的学校也是十分重要的。科耐高中所处之地的很多人们都有丰富的照顾国际学生的经验。这里还有一些教师来自中国和日本。由于语言上的方便，这些老师们在日常生活中更易于给予学生照顾和帮助，在学生和教师之间起到了纽带作用，又能及时向家长反馈信息。由于我们更加了解国际学生身处不同文化地域所产生的实际生活及心理上的问题，我们能够及时为国际学生排忧解难，使他们更好的从家乡生活转换到澳洲生活中来。
