When I first came to Box Hill Senior Secondary College, my first impression was that the school was huge and everything was very strange. Almost everything is different from Vietnam. I was very lost on the first day of school. But fortunately, the teachers as well as other classmates were very friendly, they helped me find a class, taught me how to attend the classes, so that I gradually got used to the school environment and to have fun.
