International Student Program

International Student Program Travel report in Vietnam

On March 2017 Ms Dowsley and I travelled to Vietnam to conduct parent teacher interviews to provide academic student reports to our international student Parents.

The main purpose of this trip is to provide each family with detailed information on their child’s progress report, on their wellbeing, care arrangements; particularly in relation to their homestay arrangements. We also provided information on the school’s curriculum and ensured that we maintained a strong relationship with this important group in our school community and were able to address any questions or queries they had so that they felt more at ease and comfortable with the program.

During our hectic 2.5 week trip in Vietnam, we met up with more than 46 families as well as many prospective students and their families as well, ensuring that we made the most of our given time.

We were overwhelmed by the support and positive feedback from the parents who expressed their grateful appreciation towards our teachers and homestay providers, specifically regarding the high duty of care that was taken for their child and their wellbeing.

However, needless to say, this success could not be achieved alone, so I would like to say thank you for the continuous support from our students’ families, homestay guardians, community and teachers all working together to help and support them while they study at St Albans Secondary College.
