There is one thing that I like from la trobe, it’s service for international students: it’s known as La Trobe Awards.
It is one way for the students to get recognition for their non academic achievement.
La Trobe awards itself has two options:
La trobe awards in Community engagement and la trobe awards in leadership
Last year, I’ve been involved in lot of volunteering activities for my community engagement programs.. Helping the festival, joining international students, assisting Indonesian teachers, even taking part in youth exhibition..so much fun,
It is so true that ” volunteering let you enjoy more your time here in Australia, expand your network and build friendship ”
I can’t tell I have lot of fun 🙂
This year, I try something new.. I join the La Trobe Leadership Program
You can check on the websites on how to get it.. We need to apply for that and then there will be group interview for the second selection process
This Is the “love letter”
While you are in the program, you will form a group of six where you will do one project based on your chosen theme, it can be : cross cultural understanding, sustainability or innovative fundraising.
For me, I selected cross cultural understanding where we form the project under the name “Tell Us About You”
“Tell us about you” project emphasise on cultural sharing session from different countries all over the world
Where we try to combat stereotypes and build global network. The sharing session will be during orientation week and please stay tune in our page that we will update about our event, we do hope that more people can come, whoever you are and wherever you are from, come and tell us about you!
So, that’s a little bit about my experience here,,hope you enjoy it as much as mine 🙂
