Adapting to a new academic system is a challenge. I mentor newly arrived students through our school’s peer support program, helping them understand the Australian education system and develop effective study strategies.

Student bio

Junchen (Louis) has shown strong leadership and commitment at Balwyn High School, leaving a lasting mark on his peers and the school community. As Chinese debate team captain, he turned a group of inexperienced members into a confident, cohesive team, sharing strategies, assigning roles based on strengths, and nurturing their skills and self-belief. His dedication to mentoring extended to the yearbook ambassador program, where he guided younger students in mathematics and science, which significantly increased their confidence and collaborative learning.

At a broader level, Louis contributed as a Year 10 council member, playing a pivotal role in events like movie night. He also represented international students on the Whitehorse City Council Youth Voice Committee, advocating for inclusion and cultural understanding.

Louis leads by example, quietly shaping an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. His energy and commitment encourage others to participate and believe in their own abilities.
