Student Testimonials

Japanese student Yu recently completed his 3-term Study Abroad Program at Reynella East College. He made the most of his time studying abroad by joining a rugby team, improving his English and exploring our different school subjects on offer.

Yu says “The teachers really care about each and every international student, and I found their empathy and support something I really depended upon. It wasn’t just that I got to meet people from all over the globe and learn about their cultures, it was also great that I met other international students from Japan. I found it really valuable when we sometimes spoke in Japanese about our future dreams, or just chatted, or talked through things that were concerning us.”
