My experience as an international student has shown me I’m not navigating this journey alone. Reservoir High School is a supportive space where students from around the world build friendships, celebrate their cultures, and adjust to a new country and education system. With dedicated staff, cultural activities, and the international homework club, I’ve gained confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging. As a homestay student, it feels like more than a school—it’s a second home, supporting my happiness and helping me do my best.
