International Student Program - Uni Excursion

Recently our College and the International Students were invited to a day in Melbourne attending a Uni Expo. The Year 10 to Year 12 International Students attended and this allowed them to experience the following:

1. Obtain up-to-date and specific University information directly from representatives, which is customized for international students only.

2. Better assist the International Students in selecting their future academic and career pathways in the future and beyond.

All of the International Students had an amazing day and learnt so much from the experience, coming away with a wealth of knowledge and smiles on their faces, not to mention the lovely gifts that they received on the day.

The highlight of the day was during lunch break when Anne Nguyen took the stage where a piano was, playing this in the lunch area. Anne acquired such an audience while she was playing and a standing ovation at the completion of her song. Well done Anne, such an amazing talent and so happy you shared this moment with your peers and others around you.

This event is hosted in the spirit of connecting and developing the leadership skills of young people in the Geelong Region.
