Korean Study Group Visit – A Week of Cultural Exchange and Lasting Memories

In Week 6, our school had the pleasure of hosting a Korean Study Group as part of a vibrant cultural and educational exchange. The group, consisting of 20 students and 4 chaperones, joined us from Monday to Thursday and left with many memories that will last a lifetime—for both our Yeronga students and our overseas visitors.

The week began on Monday, 26 May, with the Korean students being paired with Yeronga student buddies. Together, they attended classes from Periods 2 to 4, offering the visiting students a first-hand look at daily school life in Australia.

From Tuesday to Thursday, the group participated in a series of personalised VET experience classes, showcasing the strengths of our vocational education offerings:

• Tuesday: VET Cookery with Michelle Hoffman
• Wednesday: VET STEM and Engineering with Karl McIntyre, Susan Gilchrist, Alice Kulbat, and Angel Fitzpatrick
• Thursday: VET Business with Tim Hohenhaus

These sessions were not only informative but also highly engaging, giving the students practical experience and a deeper appreciation of the educational opportunities available at Yeronga.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all staff involved in planning and delivering these sessions. Your dedication, warmth, and enthusiasm ensured the success of the program and made our visitors feel truly welcome.

The visit was a resounding success—enriching for our guests and inspiring for our students. Thank you to everyone who helped make this cultural exchange such a memorable experience.
