Student Experience

Thanh Vinh (Albert) Nguyen, Year 11 from Vietnam

If someone asks me, how do I feel when I study abroad? And should their children study abroad too? I’ll show how I became a new person from the past to now with all the journey studying in a different country, how I made new friends, how the school supported me in study and order face. To be honest, studying abroad is very fun and I enjoy it, and especially my homestay family supports me and takes care of the smallest things when I study here. I have learned many things that in the past, for example, I know how to cook by myself, I know how I manage my timetable so I don’t rush my time or waste it as I did in the past, I make newer friends and focus on my task, it that I can’t do in the past. And should they let the children go and study abroad, my answer is yes but it depends on many different in the children’s lives and if they worry about beingalone in a new country, the school will find the best homestay and put them in so they will never be alone, the school will find the best option to help you on your study journey. Overall, I feel extremely fun and enjoy my time at school and homestay, and all of the teachers are very friendly and always happy to help when I need it or can say that they were always ready to support me no matter what happens. Also, I want to say thank you to everyone who supported me during the time that I was here to learn and grow up, especially my homestay family, and all the teachers and friends that I have met.

I have had very positive experiences since the first days I entered the school. The learning environment here makes me feel very happy; the teachers and friends have helped me a lot in my subjects. Whenever I don't understand a lesson, the teachers are always willing to explain it to me again. In the beginning, I thought I wouldn't be able to adapt or make friends because this was my first time in a new environment, but now I have adapted more easily and made many new friends from all over the world. I am very grateful for the support from my teachers and friends

Ludovica Trioni, Year 10 from Italy

My exchange program in Australia was an extremely positive experience that left me with only wonderful memories and valuable lessons. Living in a completely new environment allowed me to grow, open my mind to new perspectives, and discover parts of myself I didn’t know before. The people I met, the places I visited, and the activities I took part in made this journey truly unique and enriching. The school I attended was incredibly welcoming, supportive, and always ready to help me feel comfortable and included, which made the learning experience even more meaningful. Overall, it’s an experience I cherish with deep gratitude and one that has had a profoundly positive impact on my personal growth.
