" I like the school and the people. When I met my mate in the first week, she was very kind and nice with me. The teachers are very helpful with the international students and the tutorials can be useful for our assessment."
Caterina, Italy
"We've also been to heaps of excursions. I don’t think I’ve been traveling as much as I have in one school year, as I have on these 4 months. Also sports carnivals and extra-curricular activities have made me feel like I am a part of the school. Modern history and art is absolutely my favourite subjects."
Eline, Norway
"I really enjoy how many trips and excursions we are doing as an international class and with other classes. It gives us the chance to know each other better and blends us as a team. "

"The teachers are really kind and ever happy to help or give us extra time if the assignment is too difficult. The school is really well organized, particularly with the technology. There is a big variety of subjects and extra-curricular activities to enjoy."

International program
"I am thrilled that I got the possibility to be a part of the international program. I love the subjects, the school, and Hervey Bay in general. I would recommend Urangan State High School to absolutely everyone!"
Katinka, Norway
"The International program in Urangan State High School is really well organized. It gave us a lot of facilities like the special class just for us (the international class), the free laptop, the free uniform, special extensions for the assessments and a lot of people that are available for us if we need to talk about any problem. "

Homestay
"I enjoyed the stay at my homestay family so much. I was always welcome there and felt like at home. They are like my second family in Australia!"

Resources
"I really appreciate is that we are provided by laptops and school uniforms from our school. We don’t have to pay for our school uniform and the laptop we can borrow for the time we are staying here."

Our visit welcoming
"I am really happy to be a part of the Urangan State High School international program, because everyone is really helpful and nice. I felt very welcome when I first came here. At the first couple of days I got lots of help from my buddy who showed me the whole school and introduced me to her friends. As well, the teachers help a lot with the exercises and are really helpful."
Sandra, Germany
"Year 11 students are nice. They are friendly. If I have any problems, they always try to help me. Also, I made many friends who came from different countries. It is good to know many cultures."
