Although I am an international student, I feel the college is my home. I’ve made lots of friends at school who are international students from all over the world, and also many local students. The teachers in my school are excellent and patient too. Werribee Secondary College not only creates a great environment for my studies, but also teaches me how to ‘live worthily'.
