The Warrawong Intensive English Centre is the only first phase English as a Second Language (ESL) Centre serving high school age students outside of the Sydney Metropolitan area.
The Warrawong Intensive English Centre was established in 1979, and became fully operational in 1980. Since then nearly 1500 students from Non-English Speaking Backgrounds (NESB) have enrolled at the Centre.
The success of the centre is greatly assisted by support from the staff of Warrawong High School and other Illawarra district schools. 100% of Warrawong Intensive English Centre’s students come from non-English speaking backgrounds. Consequently, the practice of teaching the English language in Key Learning Areas (KLA) is well established.

The Warrawong Intensive English Centre is intended to provide English language instruction for first phase high school students (11-18 year olds), namely those who enter Australia with very little or no knowledge of the English language but wish to continue their schooling.
The Warrawong Intensive English centre provides an educational service to our non-English speaking migrant, refugee and temporary resident community.
