Update regarding student study tours, sister schools and exchange programs

10/3/2017

0 Comments

 
We are often asked to advertise on behalf of outside agencies which organise inbound and outbound student travel. DE International oversees student study tours and exchange programs, ensuring that agencies meet compliance with NSW child protection procedures, host family screening, safe and supervised travel, adequate accommodation standards and emergency contact procedures.

We will no longer be advertising inbound/outbound student travel on the Languages NSW site.

The information below can be found on our home page. We are including as a post today, to raise awareness about DE International and their role.

​Study tours and sister schools
All study tours into NSW government schools are managed through DE International.

If your school is contacted by an agent, organisation or overseas group (students, teachers or adults) wishing to visit your school please forward the request to the Study Tours team at DE International.

Sister schools are reciprocal and non-commercial – no payments are made to the school. Establishing a sister school is at the discretion of the principal and does not need to go through DE International. 

For more information see the policy and guidelines for overseas student and group visits, including the implementation document and the link to related documents which has a sample memorandum of understanding for sister schools.

If the sister-school wishes to visit your school and you will not do a return visit overseas, the visit should be arranged as a study tour through DE International.
​
Hosting study tours
DE International is always looking for new schools to host overseas groups. Please contact the Study Tours team if you'd like to be involved.

Exchange programs
NSW student exchange programs may only be operated by registered student exchange organisations (SEOs). SEOs and exchange programs are registered and overseen by the NSW Registration Committee for International Secondary Student Exchange, through DE International.
 
SEOs must be compliant with both the National Guidelines for the Operation of International Secondary Student Exchange Programs in Australia and the Guidelines for Operation of Secondary Student Exchange in New South Wales. SEOs are required to ensure incoming and outbound student exchange activity is conducted on a reciprocal basis and meet child protection legislative requirements.
 
Exchange students must hold a Visa Subclass 500 and an Acceptance Advice for Secondary Student Exchange (AASES) form to enrol in a NSW school. Principals should confirm their acceptance of the exchange student enrolment by endorsing the AASES Request Form prior to the AASES form being issued by DE International.
 
Students may enrol in NSW schools for a minimum period of one term and a maximum of one year. Outbound students may enrol for a minimum of 10 weeks and a maximum of one year in overseas schools.
 
Shorter international study experiences are not student exchange programs and must operate as a study tour, or be arranged through a sister school agreement or Departmental Memorandum of Understanding.
 
Further information on study tours and sister schools can be found at Overseas students and visitors.
Outbound school excursions or visits to sister schools must comply with the Excursions policy.
If you are contacted by a company offering student exchange, that is not listed on our website, please forward the request to studentexchange@det.nsw.edu.au.
