Lennart from Germany:

“It has felt so good to be a part of the Centenary HeightsState High School community – a real school – felt like a realpart of the school. What I will remember most of myexperience in Toowoomba is the people from this school. Tobe honest the people here were the highlight of my whole timein Australia. Before I would never have thought it would havebeen like this. My expectations were exceeded – truefriendships have been formed, so much more than what Iexpected – genuine, meaningful, life-long friendships. Thestudents here are so open to people from other countries, it issuch a multicultural school.”

Eva from China:

“I came to Centenary Heights State High School, which islocated in Toowoomba in 2012. If you never heard a place inAustralia called ‘Toowoomba’, I wouldn’t be surprised,because…it is a small town. But don’t get me wrong just yet. Ifyou ask me what is the aspect I love the most of studying in thisschool, I would say it’s the great teacher support andadditionally the quietness of the town. The great teachersupport ensures your best study opportunity and you know thereis always someone who is willing to help you when you need it.And being in a small town gives you chance to get settle downand get in a study mode without many distractions as you wouldexperience in big cities, which made it the perfectcombination.”

Yuto from Japan:

“What I learned from the days in Australia is something will last for restof my life. I sometimes look back at the pictures taken in Australia, andthen I miss the people I met and the shiny days in the beautiful country.Since I came back to Japan, I feel a little strange. The reason why isbecause I feel like I have two homes where I belong to. Who made mysecond home were my host mother, and her two little girls. I feltwelcomed and loved. Not as a guest, but a family member. That is why mymost wonderful memories were always with the family. We travelled to abeach. We went camping and fishing. We went out for breakfast or dinner.We watched many films. We enjoyed the time as a family. We built aprecious relationship. It was a big challenge to study in a foreigncountry. It was hard to decide to go. However, I can assert that thedecision was right and I am proud of my courage to open a new door. Iappreciate everyone and everything around the experiences inAustralia.”
