Melbourne Students Services Centre has played an invaluable role in supporting Kilvington’s Global Connections program and our international students for many years now. Director Sarah Cheng helped to establish our sister school relationship and worked tirelessly to support Kilvington’s first excursions with local students to China. As International Student Coordinator, I have appreciated that MSSC’s Parent Representatives have been conscientious in attending interviews and information sessions and translating information for parents of international students.
