International Student Program News

There have been many things afoot in the international program world since our last issue. We are very excited to celebrate Harmony Day, the Photo Day and our upcoming 25th Anniversary!

It’s fantastic to see so many of the international students participate in school events. They have been practising hard for the band and the group dance. A big thank to Anne CHEUNG, Daisy HUANG, and Ailin WANG for their efforts on organizing and leading the girls to perform for the assembly. Thank you all of you girls who have spent so much time on rehearsing and practising for the event: Kelly, Eva, Anna, Sylvia, Echo, and Alice. Well done and congratulation girls!

Special thanks to Mr. Hicks who has stepped in as an excellent drummer for the performance, and Ms. Qian for her help with the preparation and her beautiful performance.  

Also, big congratulation to Elaine (year 12) on her beautiful solo performance. It must have taken lots of courage to perform in front of the school, and you have done it very well 😊

Unfortunately, due to the limited time frame, the girls’ performances were cut in short. However, they will perform on the 23rd March for the 25th MGC Anniversary in library. More international students will take part in the performance. Please come and support our girls 😊

Another exciting news to share is about the 18th birthday celebration. 18th birthday is indeed a unique and remarkable birthday that we thought is very worth celebrating. On 15th March, we had our 1st seasonal 18 years birthday party this year. Four of our girls, Jaelene, Michelle, Giang and Lan have turned 18th in their year 11 and year 12. Welcome to adulthood! All the best to them!

Finally, we are very proud that two of our international students, Yuqi Mao (Anne) from last year and Lan WANG (Lan, current Yr12) have been selected as ones of the finalists for the Arts Achievement Award (Performing Arts) and Academic Excellence Award of the Victorian International School Student Awards. This award celebrates international student excellence and recognise schools and homestay families for outstanding global learning and engagement.

The Awards Ceremony will be held on 30th May.  Congratulations to both of them! Good luck for their awards!
