The Chinese Experience
My name is Allen, and
I graduated from Gosford Christian School in 2002. I am studying
Bachelor of Science in the University of New South Wales. When I
started at Language College when I was a 17 year old kid there were
only a few Chinese people living in. After that I went to Gosford
Christian School for year 11. After some times I started playing
handball with those local students, always joined them together
and having lunch, after that I started to go to chapel, although
some time I fell asleep. Now I realize that some time I was missing
the days when I was in GCS, missing the local students that real
friendship. Because as you grown up and studying in university,
too much assignment could make you really stress, and remember the
old high school time was really sweet.
This is a great opportunity
for me to write a message for you, and I hope you can enjoy your
studying in GCS and enjoy your life in Australia, and after all
you will find that it was a really great memory in your life.
Gosford Christian School
initially started its International Student Program with Chinese
students from Hong Kong.
Vivien lived with her
Aussie family in the early 1990's completing her HSC in 1993. She
married in February 2004
and asked her homestay
dad to give her away. Vivien and her husband are pictured
here with the Stiles family. All the children attend Gosford Christian
School and Mr & Mrs Stiles work for Gosford Christian Centre.
In
November 2004 we received a letter from Leo (a Hong Kong student)
Leo
says: I was graduated from your school for the school level year
11 & 12 during 1990-1992. Being impressed by the spiritual learning
of the School, I was called by the Lord and baptiezed in 1991 by
the School Principal and Pastor. After finishing the HSC I furthered
my studies in the University of NSW and came back to Hong Kong for
my careers development.
