\"\"Van Thanh Hai \u2013 Year 11<\/strong>
\n“I have been studied in 麻豆精选 (WSSC) for a year, since July 2018. My first impression was: \u201cWow, how can it be so difficult?\u201d I was struggling with most of the subjects, mainly because of the language barrier. However, with people support, especially from my teachers, I can assure that I have improved a lot in comparison to when I first came. The education here is really different to Vietnam\u2019s education. I find it much easier to understand what the teachers say, and if I do not, the teachers always take their time to rephrase it and use different methods to help me understand it. There are countless ways for us to study, especially with the LMS of the school website. At the same time, I have opportunities to make more friends, not only just Aussie friends, but also the others from different nationalities. I have many kind and helpful friends in the school. After school, when I have problems with my daily activities, Ms. Larkin is always there to support me and try her best to solve the problems with me. I feel really lucky that my parents have provided a chance for me to be here to enjoy studying in this school.”<\/p>\n

\"\"Nguyen Le Minh \u2013 Year 9<\/strong>
\n\u201cMrs. Melanie McClure is a very helpful and kind person. Before I came to Wodonga, she kept sending emails informing my parents about all the paperworks that needed to be done. It was really detailed and accurate. When I arrived here, she picked up me at the hotel and took me to my new homestay family, minding me of things I had to do the next day and never forgets to ask about my parent\u2019s health. After settled in with my new life, although she was so busy, she usually gets me a ring to check if everything was on the right track or not. I really appreciate what she has done for me, it was so wonderful to meet her as my assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Le Tuan Minh \u2013 Year 10<\/strong>
\nMy name is Minh and I am an international student at 麻豆精选. I started studying here a month ago and it is very interesting studying here. There are a lot of subjects in many fields like engineering to business, food to languages,\u2026 And the cool thing is that everybody is extremely friendly and easy to talk to. People respect each other, and teachers are like friends to you, when talking to them it feels like you\u2019re talking to your casual friends rather than a teacher. The school also have loads of events\/activities, which makes it so entertaining in the school year. And that\u2019s why I think this school is a nice place to learn.<\/p>\n

\"\"Nguyen Van Lam \u2013 Year 10<\/strong>
\n\u201cAs an international student, I think that the environment at WSSC is amazing. I benefited a lot from the balanced program between academics, sports, and leisure. It helped me to deal with stress through my school life. I found it easy to make new friends when I first came to WSSC, students and teachers both made me feel so welcome. And having international mates has helped me acknowledge the rest of the world better. We talk about many different things, and they relate it to their culture, which makes me excited about exploring the world.\u00a0 The teachers are constantly motivating me to do my best. It is great to know that they are always there to help me reach my full potential. They usually give me beneficial advice, which allowed me to head in the right direction. Additionally, the curriculum has a variety of subjects to choose from, providing a great learning habitat, which is highly important for my future. Overall, I have fun, I have great friends, and I have great teachers here. For me, WSSC is the best, and I love WSSC!\u201d<\/p>\n
