Al Siraat College hosted and welcomed 21 students with 2 teachers from the PD Soedirman Islamic Junior High School , Jakarta, Indonesia from 21 April to 11 May 2025. The Homestay Visit to Melbourne aims for the students to learn about Australian schools and culture. The visit was to help them adapt, become more independent and responsible, and to develop their competence in oral English.
The students spent three days at the College with Year 9 LEAP students, immersing themselves in learning activities, exchanging ideas and perspectives, and conversing in both English and Indonesian. Most importantly, the visit fostered the building of relationships and a deeper understanding of each other’s cultures and learning experiences.
Year 9 LEAP students also had the opportunity to practise their Indonesian language skills with the visitors and delivered a farewell speech to them on their last day of the visit.
It was a memorable experience for our Year 9 LEAP students and teachers. We hope to continue the collaboration in the future.
