International Student Recruitment Trip to China
From April 20 to 28, I visited China to strengthen partnerships and promote Victorian secondary education with International Education Division. During the visit, I visited Nanjing, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou to participate in the education fair with local education agencies and representatives from the Department of Education.
The visit provided an excellent opportunity to introduce the strengths of Victorian schools and share the unique learning opportunities available at our school. The promotional events and meetings were very well received, attracting strong interest from students and families across the region. We are delighted that many prospective students have already begun enquiring about enrolment opportunities with our school.
Celebrating May Birthdays
Building a caring and inclusive community remains an important part of our International Student Program. We have had the tradition to celebrate each student’s birthday by providing a card, a cupcake or voucher.
These celebrations provide students with a sense of belonging and create memorable experiences while they are studying away from home. It was wonderful to see students from different cultural backgrounds coming together to share joy and support one another.
Congratulations to Jules on Another VGLA Award
We are proud to congratulate Jules on once again receiving a VGLA Year 12 Student Leadership Commendation Award in recognition of outstanding achievement and dedication.

This award reflects Jules’ continued hard work, talent, and positive contribution to the International Student Program and the school community. Her achievement inspires both local and international students to strive for excellence in all areas of school life.
Congratulations, Jules! We look forward to seeing your continued success in the future.
