At Ormiston Senior College we want our students to be engaged in learning and also to feel comfortable and happy in their home and school environments.  Some of the ways we will support international students are outlined below.

Information on International Students
The college office will hold individual folders for every international student.  These will contain all of the personal, medical and academic information they receive about the student via the enrolment process plus information gathered during the course of their stay.  This will include the student survey forms, the Homestay Student Evaluation form and any feedback collected through home visits etc.

Information & advice on accommodation
The International Student Homestay Manager is responsible for ensuring that all accommodation is both suitable and meets the college's responsibilities under the code of practice.

Communicating with parents for students under 18
The college will collect all of the contact details for parents of students.  These will be held at the college and put onto the college’s KAMAR system.
The office staff will photograph each of the students for KAMAR and place in a folder for staff recognition. All international families will receive progress reports at least twice per term and via the college email a monthly newsletter.

Students identified at risk or with additional needs
Any additional needs are noted on the student’s enrolment form.  A copy of this is given to the student’s Learning Advisor and any other relevant people. Students identified once having arrived will come under the responsibility of the Senior Leader Wellbeing and the pastoral care systems of the school.
