All ELICOS students at Shafston are expected to only ever use English on campus. This is strictly enforced in the classroom by the '3 strike rule'. If a student speaks in their mother tongue they are given 2 warnings, the 3rd time they will have to leave the class for the remainder of the lesson. In force NOW!

Wireless Internet Access

Shafston now offers high speed WIRELESS internet access to all students. Students with their own laptop computer simply need to register with our IT Department (Rm 209) who will take them through the simple setup process. Once they have registered they will be able to logon to the internet via their own laptop at any time they are on campus - no cables required! As we are using state of the art equipment the speed is very high - around 11mb/sec. Cost $5/week (unlimited high speed remote access).
