Year 12 unequivocally is my most hectic, fun and challenging year! As I set sail in my final year of high school, I was undoubtedly hit by countless of waves –big or small. Once my journey came to an end, I was proud to have sailed through those waves as it had brought me many invaluable lessons and life-long friends! It was worth it!

Meichou found her biggest challenge studying at a Victorian government school was self-doubt. Not only did she want to strive to achieve her own goals, she also had the immense pressure from her parents back home in Cambodia. Through her uncertainty, she never lost sight of the unconditional support that has been there since she started her international student journey since year 7.

Meichou feels forever grateful to have the supportive teachers and amazing friends by her side. Her school's wellbeing team played an integral part in helping her navigate life at Keysborough College. Due to Keysborough College's support team, Meichou found the drive to chase after her dreams and to believe in herself!
