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.’

“I’ve had so many incredible experiences in this incredible school. With unconditional support from teachers and students at WSC, I was able to cope with obstacles to become an excellent student. I started to make school an interesting place to enjoy every day by participating in different social activities such as the language and badminton clubs and musical activities – amazing releases from all the stresses of studying. I’m very thankful for all the opportunities that teachers and students at WSC have given me, and for being part of this amazing school community.”
