The Government House Experience

On Tuesday, 20th March, 4 International students (Ge Zhao Ying, Minh Chau, Javier and Sang Chatthathireach) went to the Government House to attend the Victorian International School Student Welcome Reception 2018, as Northcote High School representatives. During this highly anticipated annual event international student representatives from government, private and catholic schools of Victoria received speeches from Mrs. Linda Dessau AC, the Governor of Victoria, Ms. Judith Graley, the Parliamentary Secretary for Education, and Mr. Sovann Eu , an award winner student speaker representing the Victorian International Student. In their speeches both the Governor and Parliamentary Secretary welcomed international students from all over the world and wished them all success studying and living in Victoria.  

International student attendees also appreciated the great opportunities to tour the splendid Government House, enjoyed morning tea and photo opportunities with the officials and new friends. 

Our 4 International student representatives felt that it was a great honor and privilege to attend this great event. They said that knowing the governor and our schools always welcome and support International Students gave them confidence and comfort to focus on life in school and community, to try their best to achieve success.
