English Language Courses: General English / English Language Courses: Preparation for Secondary Studies (PSS)

Undertake an English program to support your studies:

• Offered at our language school in Perth.
• Includes General English and Preparation for Secondary Studies (PSS) courses.
• PSS prepares students for secondary school with levels from Elementary to Intermediate.

This course is designed to introduce students to the early stages of English language acquisition in order to prepare them for the more academic style of English taught in the Preparation for Secondary Studies Course.

Preparation for Secondary Studies (PSS) is an English language program specifically designed to prepare students for entry into secondary school programs. Students commence PSS in the level best suited to their current language ability. PSS includes some subject content to ensure that students become familiar with the vocabulary and terminology needed to successfully study secondary school subjects.

Specific English language proficiency entry and exits levels are associated with each year of schooling.

The PSS Program is offered at three different levels:

1. Elementary
2. Pre-Intermediate
3. Intermediate

All levels help students to revise basic grammar, comprehension and vocabulary through practice in writing, speaking, reading and listening activities. PSS offers a mix of intensive and academic English teaching to help students transition smoothly into one of the schools within our network.

PSS courses start on the first day of each of Terms 1, 2, 3 and 4. The number of terms required will vary according to a student's age, English language proficiency, academic progress, and their specific learning needs.

Students are assessed in all skills and subjects taught. They receive comprehensive mid-term and end-of-term academic reports and a Certificate of Study for each PSS level that is successfully completed.

Our language school is located at Level 6, 10 William Street in Perth. In mid-2025, the language school will be moving to a new location at 441 Murray Street in the heart of Perth's CBD.
