- My name is Christy. I'm from Hong Kong. I'm in Year 11.
And I'm 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 film, television and new media subject,
I am also attending Griffith Uni's guest program in photo imaging.
It is about taking photos and printing photos.
Studying in Queensland is different from my home country, Hong Kong.
For example, in Queensland,
we only attend school from 8am to 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 Uni.
I would love to be a script writer or a director in the future.
My homestay family is really lovely and helpful.
They live really close to the school.
It only takes me 15 minutes to get to school.
And I also attend some activities
like going out to 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.
