The department has IN students! Who knew!

[Lilith-Palmer]

There is a group of stakeholders that didn't get a look in during development. International students! The department has an entire directorate devoted to finding international students and settling them into NSW schools.

After having a chat with Milton, an admissions manager from this area, I found that they are already referring potential students to the school finder, and that there is only one or two crucial pieces of information needed to make it comprehensive for their area.

• does a school take student visas?
• does a school take temporary visas?

Most schools take temporary visas - they can basically only refuse of they are already full. But only 100 schools regularly take student visas, and maybe another 300 take them intermittently.

The question is - could we incorporate this information into ~~our baby~~ the school finder
