The International Institute of Health Sciences (IIHS) establishes ISWA International School (The International School of Western Australia - www.iswa.edu.lk), introducing the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) to Sri Lanka for the first time. 

SCSA, on behalf of the Western Australian Government and IIHS, recently entered into an agreement to introduce an internationally recognised Australian educational system to Sri Lanka, which is an alternative to the British educational system that exists in Sri Lanka. The International School of Western Australia, affiliated to the IIHS, offers an Australian education system, where students will get an ATAR score, which is the Advanced level scoring system in Australia in the end of the programme similar to the Z score offered in Sri Lanka. At the end, students receive certificates approved by the Australian government. Students pursuing education under the WACE enjoy a number of benefits, including prioritisation in higher education opportunities in Australia, applying for visa and applying for jobs. 

Students with a minimum B pass in English, mathematics and science in the London and local O/L examinations can apply for this. Students with a C pass can also enrol after a three-month Preparatory Programme. The International School of Western Australia will initially enrol three groups of 30 students each and will increase the number of enrolments in the future. 

Education is also conducted under the supervision of the Australian Education Authority. Initially, science stream subjects, including mathematics, biology or human biology, physics, chemistry and English as an additional language will be taught. Later, arts and commerce streams will also be launched. Equipped with state-of-the-art study lecture halls and laboratories, the International School of Western Australia is a great choice to make students’ higher education dreams come true.
