Volleyball State Finals Results
A huge congratulations to the Year 8 Boys Volleyball Team who were runners-up at the State Volleyball Finals in Dandenong earlier this term! VUSC remained undefeated throughout their qualifying matches and played extremely well, only to lose the tie break on the last set to be defeated by just two points. It was such an achievement for VUSC considering there were 800+ schools from around the state participating in this competition. Well done to the team and coach Mr Eugenio!

Jiangsu International Principals' Forum
Recently Mr Leyland travelled to China with other Victorian Principals as part of the Department of Education's International Principals Forum, in conjunction with the Jiangsu Education Department. Mr Leyland met with our sister school principal and attended several meetings with the view to strengthen the relationship between Victorian and Chinese students.
The Jiangsu-Victoria International Education Centre (JVIEC) and Principal of our sister school gave an insight into the six day visit:
加强国际合作，推进协同育人。11月14日下午，澳大利亚维多利亚大学中学副校长格林·利兰、汉普顿小学校长乔什·谢菲尔德、澳大利亚江苏维州教育中心副主任丁惟有、一行来我校交流访问。我校党委副书记、校长卢廷顺，副校长吴梦雷，办公室主任高建国以及英语组教师们热情接待了远道而来的客人。
We will strengthen international cooperation and promote coordinated education. On the afternoon of November 14, Glenn Leyland, Vice Principal of Victoria University Secondary College, Josh Sheffield, Principal of Hampton Primary School, and Ding Will, Deputy Director of Jiangsu Victoria Education Center, visited our school. Lu Tingshun, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and President of our school, Wu Menglei, Vice president, Gao Jianguo, director of the office, and the English teachers warmly received the guests who came from afar.
格林·利兰副校长高度评价了我校的教育理念和办学水平，并介绍了澳大利亚维多利亚大学中学的相关情况，对双方多年合作所取得的成绩给予了充分肯定。他认为这次访问对双方来说都是一个分享经验的好机会，也非常希望双方的学生能继续到对方的学校学习、交流。
Vice Principal Glenn Leyland spoke highly of the educational philosophy and level of our school, introduced the relevant situation of Victoria University Secondary College in Australia, and fully affirmed the achievements of the cooperation between the two sides for many years. He believes that this visit is a good opportunity for both sides to share experience, and he also hopes that students from both schools can continue to study and exchange in the future.
格林·利兰副校长一行还在卢廷顺校长的陪同下参观了我校校史展览馆
Vice Principal Glenn Leyland also visited the school History Exhibition Hall accompanied with Principal Lu Tingshun,
交流协作，行以致远。2014年我校与维多利亚大学中学正式确立为友好学校。2015年、2016年和2018年，我校曾先后组织三批学生在假期前往维多利亚大学中学访问，也曾作为东道主，接待了维多利亚大学中学来访的师生。双方校长也借用校长协作会等机会进行相互交流。此次维多利亚大学中学的来访，不仅深化了两校之间的友谊，也为双方在教育领域的进一步合作打下了坚实的基础。未来两校将开启进一步的教育对话，以培养更多具有创新精神和国际视野的优秀人才。
In 2014, our school was officially established as a sister school with Victoria University Secondary College. In 2015, 2016 and 2018, our school organized three groups of students to visit Victoria University Secondary College during the holidays, and also served as the host to receive visiting teachers and students from Victoria University Secondary College. The principals of both schools also exchanged views on the occasion of the principals' cooperation meeting. The visit of Victoria University Secondary College not only deepened the friendship between the two schools, but also laid a solid foundation for further cooperation between the two schools in the field of education. In the future, the two schools will open further educational dialogue to cultivate more outstanding talents with innovative spirit and international vision.
