Assurance for parents

For those parents who are worried about putting their children overseas to study alone in a foreign country, we have additional services such as the Overseas Student Support Program (OSSP) tailored by our occupational psychologists and counsellors as an option to help students learn how to assimilate into their new environment and thus able to settle properly in their personal and school life especially those who are experiencing independence for the first time and also unfamiliar with the educational system in Australia. If necessary, parents can be provided with regular updates on the children’s well-being and progress to give them a piece of mind.

The OSSP also extend to older students who find it challenging coping with new things in life in a foreign place such as those who may find difficulties and lack confidence in communicating with local Australians and feel lonely as a result of finding themselves with very little or no friends. The OSSP help these students to refocus and get themselves back onto track as they learn communication skills and get to network around with their contemporaries interacting with other international students as well as the local Australians. There are also personalized programs to help those who come from an Asian background to fit socially into a Western culture, developing their abilities in expressing their opinions more openly without any fear in front of the class and in public. Other aspects of the customizable OSSP include time management and study skills such as writing of essays, coping with research and performing critical analysis, as well as assisting students to handle stress and issues should they fall behind in class and relooking at their subject choices if they need to change courses in the midst of their studies.

The Overseas Student Support Program doesn’t ends there. All in all, the OSSP is a holistic approach to support students in their mental well-being and physical health and overall character development. The program is a tailor-made program from beginning to the end and sometimes even goes beyond graduation upon request.
