As the year draws to a close and summer holidays begin, we pause to reflect on what has truly been a memorable and inspiring year for our International Student Program. What a journey it has been — full of growth, courage, connection, and success.

🎓 Celebrating Our Year 12 Graduates

This year, we proudly congratulate two outstanding Year 12 students, Hannah Nguyen and Karish Pragash, who have graduated and completed their secondary schooling with determination and grace. Beyond their academic achievements, they also served with pride as our International Student Captains, leading by example and representing our international community with confidence, responsibility, and warmth.

Their contributions have made a lasting impact on our school, and they will always be an important part of our international student family. We wish them every success as they move into their future studies, training pathways, and careers. Wherever life takes you next — go boldly and believe in yourselves. 🌟

🎤 IELC Graduation – 17 December, 2025

On 17 December, we also celebrated the graduation of our IELC (Intensive English Language Centre) students. This was a proud and joyful occasion, made even more special by the heartfelt speeches shared by students. They reflected on their learning journeys, friendships, and challenges — and most importantly, they demonstrated how confidently they can now use English for real-life communication.

Their progress, courage, and willingness to speak in front of an audience showcased just how far they have come. Congratulations to all IELC graduates as you step forward into your future studies with confidence and resilience. You should be incredibly proud of yourselves. During the ceremony, our new International Student Captain, David Nguyen, also delivered an inspiring speech, encouraging the graduates to continue stepping up to challenges, embracing growth, and carrying the resilience they have developed into the next stage of their lives.

☀️ Summer Holidays Begin

As the school year ends, our international students have begun enjoying a well-earned break. Some have travelled back to their home countries to reconnect with family and friends, while others are staying here to enjoy the Australian summer — soaking up the sunshine, exploring, and spending time with loved ones.

💫 Looking Ahead

What a year it has been. As we say goodbye to 2025, we also look forward with excitement to the year ahead. We cannot wait to welcome everyone back next year — refreshed, motivated, and ready for new opportunities. At the same time, we are excited to open our doors to a new group of international students in Term 1 2026, who will soon begin their own journeys with us.

Thank you to our students, families, and teachers for making this year so special. Enjoy the holidays, stay safe, and we look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Warmest wishes,

International Student Program Team 🌏✨
