My first impression of CIC was very welcoming and I loved the atmosphere. You have to experience Perth for yourself, there are beautiful beaches and it’s a great place to be.
Even though Perth is a safe city, younger students need additional guidance. CIC requires these students to live with a local carer or legally recognised guardian. Written consent is required from their parents before CIC will approve these arrangements.
The local carer or guardian must be of good character and be over the age of 21. In the absence of a local carer or guardian, homestay is the recommended alternative.
The CIC Student Advisor is in constant contact with all minors to further monitor accommodation and welfare arrangements.
If you have confirmed your offer of a place, please download the relevant application form and forward to Ms Emma Tristham at etristham@cic.wa.edu.au.
