Close to both the ocean and mountains, yet within 90 minutes of Melbourne
City of Latrobe provides excellent modern lifestyle facilities
Easy transition for international students to study at Federation University Gippsland

I’m lucky to be able to work with all the friendly and supportive students and teachers in a very “Aussie” school. Over my three years stay here, I have studied some really interesting subjects, such as legal studies and English literature. My experience gives me confidence to achieve higher, which is why I’m now applying to go to Oxford University to study Law next year. Thanks Kurnai College!’
