Hello, I am Wendy Tran. It is an honour for me to be a representative for International Students with the SRC this year. Being a student at Point Cook Senior Secondary College (PCSSC) I feel that this is the perfect environment for me to study, learn and spend time with my friends freely. I enjoy the learning atmosphere as the school provides high quality facilities to let all students experience the best success in all subjects. I am also very grateful for the teachers that are here, being dedicated and understanding. When I first arrived, they showed me that it does not matter where I had come from, once you join PCSSC, you become part of the community. They also make their classes interesting and enjoyable to learn and grow in confidence. For myself, I would genuinely say that I am glad to have chosen Point Cook Senior Secondary College to study in Australia, and all the school has done for me.
