Academic Counselling

Advice on academic issues can be provided by individual teachers the the Director of Studies, Head Teacher or Senior Teacher in addition to teachers.

Personal Counselling

At Metro we try to provide a warm friendly environment for students. Most students find that they meet people quickly and get support from teachers, student services and other students when need be.

Even so, students can come across unexpected problems when studying, particularly if they are new to Sydney and away from friends and family. Metro offers a personal counselling service for students who feel they need extra support. Counselling can be for a variety of reasons, such as difficulty structuring a study routine, problems adjusting to living away from home, or other personal issues.

If you would like to arrange a Counselling Appointment, contact the Director of Studies who will confidentially assist you.

Guardianship (students under 18 years)

For international students, as part of your student visa, the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) requires that International Students in Australia who are under the age of 18 must nominate a guardian. It is College Policy that Metro College acts as the guardian for students under the age of 18, for a fee of $30AU per week.

Student Cards

Every student at Metro College is issued with a student card on their first day. This has their photograph and student number on it. This card is important and should be brought to school every day. It is used for identification and attendance.
