International students visit

English Immersion 

Cecil Hills High School had the pleasure of hosting 21 International students from China throughout week 4. Throughout this English Immersion Program, the International Chinese students were buddied up with our very own student volunteers. Students spent the week participating in varied activities across the school and in essence, capturing the spirit Cecil Hills has to offer.

First up on the agenda was traditional Aboriginal Dot painting with Ms Phan. Students got to paint their souvenir Cecil Hills High School key ring with colourful dot painting. This artful activity allowed the students to decorate their key rings whilst experiencing a traditional art from of storytelling.  A small gift students can take home and treasure forever.

The week’s activities further saw students part take in Interactive Medieval History lessons with Mrs Campbell, energetic Music class with Mr Joannides and our Support Unit,  Maths seminar with our top Year 10 classes and Geo-tagging with Mr Collins. No visit to an Australian school would be complete without cooking and tasting the delicious food Australia has to offer. Led by Mrs Marando, students had the pleasure of making double chocolate coated lamingtons topped with fresh Australian strawberries.

The highlight of the week were the unforgettable memories and experiences created between both cultures that will last a lifetime. It was an absolute pleasure and honour for Cecil Hills High School to create such special connections with our visiting International students.

Welcoming students from China to our successful school would not have been possible without the dedicated students and teachers Cecil Hills High School proudly has. Thank you to all teachers and students who participated in the International student visit. It was an incredible week jammed packed with all sorts of activities creating lasting memories.
