Under 18 Policies
If you are under the age of 18 whilst at IES, you have a number of extra responsibilities.
In particular, it is important to remain in contact with IES counsellors, services officers and enrolments staff.
There are specific rules relating to homestay. For example, individual Homestay’s may have specific house guidelines for guests. There is an expectation that you will make an effort to live as a family member in the home and communicate and get involved with the family activities.
IES strongly suggests that you read all Homestay Policy information and be patient about adjusting to your new home.
If you are intending to take scheduled holidays away from the homestay or without supervision, IES requires that your parents give written permission before IES considers the request to grant the leave be taken. Please refer to the “Students on Holidays” link for further information.
Student Services conducts “under 18” meetings with students at regular intervals to check for adjustment to study and social life in Australia. Any students with related issues are referred on to the Student Counsellors.
