'International Assembly' at Sacred Heart Girls' College
At the recent international student assembly, girls prepared a short presentation focussing on the food in their home country which was very popular with the entire student community.
This year Sacred Heart has international students from Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mainland China, Malaysia, Germany and India.
The Thai girls excelled by bringing us beautifully carved fruits and vegetables!

'Funday in the Park': Hillcrest High School International Students
The Funday was organized by the Hillcrest Park Guardians, and the International Student Committee members helped put up tents, peeled and chopped onions, cooked sausages- and ran the Face painting tent. They were very creative with their designs and both Wei Cheng and Oscar were the first ‘victims’ or perhaps practise models.
The first Sunday afternoon of the holidays was spent at the 'Tour of Duty' in Cambridge for the first 'International Paintball Games'.
Twenty students put on face masks, loaded up their paintball guns and the battle commenced. After an hour, and many reloads of paintballs, students progressed from the bush course to the speed ball course, where there was less cover and more chance to get hit. The time seemed to pass very quickly and it was a great afternoon.
