Connie Tzelepis, Manager, International Program, Wellington Secondary College: “We’re very proud of our international program at Wellington. We started 10 years ago with only 5 students from Japan and Indonesia and here we are today with over 80 students from all around the globe.”

Mary-Jo Putrino, Principal, Wellington Secondary College: “The advantage of an international program in a school both for staff and students is that staff and students start to behave and to think on a global level. It’s a process that almost happens unconsciously. If they’re looking for a solution to a problem they look globally for that solution. They look for the best person to solve the problem.”

Male Student: “The important thing is I get to learn English here. I can get involved in different activities and enjoy the life of learning in school.”

Female Student: “I think it’s really important in my future cause I am going to be a successful business woman, so now I am just doing the basic knowledges. I am really happy to be here cause Australia really made me.”
