School-aged dependents of International students

To bring school aged children with you when you study in Australia, you will need to arrange for them to attend school.

By law, all children of compulsory school age must be enrolled in school and attend every school day. Schooling may run for thirteen years, divided into a preparatory year (preschool), primary schooling and secondary schooling. All children must attend school until they are 16 years old. 16 and 17 year olds must be enrolled in school or a training organisation, be employed, or be in a combination of these three.

To find out at which age your child can or must attend kindergarten, pre-school or primary school, access the ‘school age calculator’

International Student Orientation

International Student Orientation

An orientation session will provide you with the following necessary information:

  • Information about NIT and its industry context
  • Introduction to key staff members
  • Introduction to safety essentials on campus
  • A campus tour including classrooms, student areas, student administration/services
  • An orientation kit containing all required paperwork for students to complete
