International School of Western Australia (ISWA) an extension of International Institute of Health Sciences (IIHS), as Sri Lanka’s first-ever school to offer the Australian Advanced Level programme has commenced registrations for the academic year 2022-2023. Initiated to serve not only as an academic qualification provider, ISWA works towards grooming students for their future in Australia whilst preparing them for their life journey.
Acclaimed as one of the best pathways to move to Australia for higher education, ISWA offers the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) a two-year program covering Year 11 and 12 where students sit for the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) examination at the end of Year 12.
The base curriculum module includes English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EALD), exempting students from IELTS when they apply for their tertiary education which is an added advantage in terms of time and cost.
“IIHS has always been at the forefront of academic prowess and innovation. This program provides numerous benefits to the students eliminating the need for IELTS whilst increasing the potential of students gaining direct access to top universities in Australia.
“We are closely working with the respective schools to offer performance-based scholarships to students who excel in their academics to increase opportunities for them. We are very keen to ensure that we provide quality education and therefore have appointed an academic panel consisting of qualified facilitators backed with recognised Masters qualifications from the education sector,” commented ISWA Vice President Dr. Kithsiri Edirisinghe.
Comprising of the subjects Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics Methods, Physics, Human Biology and EALD, the course provides a marking scheme with a 60:40 ratio with 60% marks allocated while the course is being followed and 40% awarded at the end of the course.
It is an attractive and credible program which provides students an international qualification at a quarter of the cost that would have had to be incurred if students were to pursue their studies in Australia excluding other additional expenses which comes in its wake. Furthermore, IIHS will facilitate bank loans and instalment plans as additional payment options.
Following the WACE, a program certified by the Australian Government, will vastly benefit students as it will pave the foundation for their future in Australia. It will improve ethical and social behaviour that would fit the Australian way of life – which would make their lives easy and increase their potential. Successful completion of the WACE along with the achieved ATAR score, will open doors for students granting them access to scholarships awarded by the Top Universities in Australia.
IIHS is fully geared to support students who enrol for this program and have established four student committees namely Students Support Committee which will help improve leadership skills, team culture and other essential aspects, the Scientific Committee to help them to develop analytics skills and scientific thinking skills, the Sports Committee and MADD Committee to promote and support aesthetic improvement.
