Annual ISP Homestay Training Session 

Annual Training for Homestay hosts was conducted on Wednesday 10th December  at our ILC in Mordialloc College.

We thank our hosts as you are a vital part of the ISP (International Student Program). It couldn't happen without your support. Your warm kindness and generosity are what makes the students' experiences so deeply fulfilling and successful. Our students gain a new family and feel that they belong. 

The training session ended at 6pm,  and all our hosts were thanked  with the gifts distributed  by our college.

Farewell

It is sad that several of our beloved teachers, who are teaching our international students,  will leave us for their new positions. In particular, our college Assistant Principal, Tracey Bastin who has been overseeing our ISP for the last 4 years, will move to another college. We will miss you a lot. We thank you for supporting the program. All the best for your new position.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas break and a Happy New Year!
