Peninsula International School Australia

The school is guided by four pillars: quality education, internationalism, a safe and dynamic learning environment, and character development. It emphasizes individual learning, critical thinking, and the development of the whole person—intellectually, socially, physically, aesthetically, and morally. The school fosters a family-oriented atmosphere that encourages curiosity, empathy, integrity, and the development of responsible global citizens.

The school follows the Australian Victorian curriculum, with programmes structured into Early Years (ages 4-5), Junior School (Foundation to Year 4), Middle School (Years 5-8), and Senior School (Years 9-12). The Senior School curriculum includes the Victorian Curriculum (VC) for Years 9 and 10, and the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) for Years 11 and 12. Additionally, the school integrates STEM subjects from Foundation to Year 8 through a partnership with World of Robotics.

The school prepares students for the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), an internationally recognised credential for students in Years 11 and 12. Graduates are equipped with 21st-century skills, including critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication, to succeed in higher education and the global workplace. The school maintains a strong partnership with Peninsula Grammar in Victoria, Australia, ensuring high academic standards and a focus on holistic development.

The school prioritises student well-being through a dedicated Pastoral Care programme, which includes Positive Psychology, proactive discussion groups, and a School Council. Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education is a core subject delivered across all year groups to develop resilience, self-esteem, and critical thinking. A full-time nurse is on-site, and the campus maintains 24-hour security, video surveillance, and a smart card system for access and cashless transactions.

Prospective families are encouraged to contact the admissions team for inquiries or to arrange a personalised school tour. The application process requires the submission of a completed application form with relevant documentation, followed by a CAT4 assessment and a final interview with the School Principal. Placement offers are based on assessment results and current year-group availability. The school offers various scholarships, including High Achievers, Outstanding Character, and Sports scholarships, which provide tuition fee waivers of up to 100% for successful applicants who meet specific academic, character, or athletic criteria.

The school provides a detailed school calendar and information regarding school hours, which can be accessed and downloaded via the official website.
