Study in a Queensland Government school

Heading: Christy from Hong Kong, Balmoral State High School

My name is Christy. I am from Hong Kong. I am in Year 11 and I am the international Captain and Prefect at Balmoral State High School.

​I chose Balmoral State High School because they have a great international student program.

My favourite subject is Film, Television and New Media. We do written production and design tasks. I attend classes three times a week; it’s a lot of fun and I received an award last year.

Apart from the Film, Television and New Media subject, I am also attending Griffith University’s GUEST Program in Photo Imaging. It is about taking and printing photos.

Studying in Queensland is different from my home country Hong Kong. For example, in Queensland we only attend school from 8am till 3pm, and also we don’t have drama, dance and film, television and new media for subject selection in Hong Kong.

In the future, I would like to continue studying Film, Television and New Media and go to university to study screen production at Griffith University. I would love to be a script writer or director in the future.

My homestay family is really lovely and helpful. They live really close to the school. It only takes me fifteen minutes to get to school and I also attend some activities like going out for dinner with them on the weekend.

I think students should come to Queensland because the weather is really good and students should come to Balmoral State High School because they have a really good International Student Program and they provide some really good facilities in the International Student Centre.

Speaking in Cantonese (translated into English):

I think Queensland is a very nice place with nice and sunny weather. There are plenty of activities to do with friends during the weekend. For example, I can go to the beach with friends. Also, its public transportation system is very convenient.

I think Balmoral State High School is an excellent school. School teachers and local students are always willing to help us. Students are able to choose from a broad variety of subject offerings in the school, giving students the opportunity to choose the subjects that cater to their individual interests.
