Shafston International College Australia

Our study tour group from Hong Kong has landed! ☀️
This week our students swapped the Hong Kong skyline for Sydney sunshine — English classes, new friends from around the world, and a special visit to the University of Sydney 🎓 Wandering those historic sandstone halls was the perfect spark of inspiration for the journey ahead.
So proud to have you in the Shafston family! 💚
