International Experiences
This is a new page - more content coming soon.
Just because we are a school in rural Victoria doesn't mean we don't get to see the world. We have sent students to international countries and have hosted many exchange students from over seas as well. Countries visitied have included the United States, New Zealand, Germany and Turkey.
Our Adventures:
Several years ago, East Loddon P-12 College began a sister school arrangement with a Turkish school located in Canakkale, located just across the Dardanelles from the Gallipoli Peninsula. The college was keen for our students to have a real connection with the commemorations taking place for the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landing and gain a better perspective of the Turkish side of the story. Our wonderful rural college travelled to Turkey in 2015 and 2018 and have hosted our Turkish friends in 2014 and 2016. This exchange program is multi-faceted and has grown into an extremely positive educational opportunity, and something much bigger than first anticipated. We firmly believe that our fantastic ‘country kids’ gain so much from this program and it is vital that the college is able to continue strengthening this wonderful opportunity afforded to our students.
