- My name is Jihyun and I'm from South Korea
and I'm currently going to Helensvale State High School.
Queensland is, like, a great state.
You can experience really strong Australian cultures,
that's what I wanted. The environment's good.
There's beaches and nice weather.
Yeah, that's why I came to Queensland.
The reason that I chose Helensvale State High School
is we have a really small population of international students,
where it's like a small community.
And then I kind of wanted to advance my English skills.
My favourite subject is chemistry
because we do a lot of scientific experiments, such as wine-making,
and scone-making, cheese-making, ginger-beer-making.
Forensics, we went to Griffith University
to do the investigation of a murder case that we got given,
which we further extended that into a research task.
Highlights of the experience
was being the first international student to be a school prefect,
which I'm current cultural prefect for the school,
where we have to organise H Factor, which is our school talent show.
For Excite Science, we have a great opportunity
to have partnership with the Griffith University,
where we get to visit their science labs to work on our assessments.
