UNSW graduation dreams come true! 🎓
Indonesian international student Axel Librata first visited UNSW in 2012 at just 11 years of age. Ever since that first visit, Axel dreamed of living and studying in New South Wales. Flash forward 12 years and he has just graduated from UNSW with a Bachelor of Commerce. We feel so privileged to share these before and after images with you of Axel from 2012 to present day.
Many thanks to Nur Fatmah Syarbini (Country Director, Indonesia - UNSW) for sharing this beautiful story. So lovely to see! Congratulations Axel!

Study NSW was pleased to host the Indonesian education agents and local school counsellors in Yogyakarta recently!
Located on the island of Java, Yogyakarta is a city that's rich in traditional Indonesian arts and cultural heritage. Education agents are the frontline contributors to the sector and it's wonderful to witness them engaging in explorative discussions, and striving for new ways to innovate and collaborate within the international education sector.

Whale, hello there! 👋 🐋✨
Each year from May to November, more than 40,000 humpback and southern right whales make their way along Sydney’s coastline in their annual migration from Antarctica to the warmer waters of the Pacific.
June is peak whale watching season and humpback whales are passing Sydney as we speak on their northern migration from Antarctic waters. In NSW, it’s common to see humpback whales, southern right whales and dolphins, but you may also spot orcas, blue whales, minke whales and s***m whales.
Cape Solander in Kamay Botany Bay National Park, the cliff-top walking trails from Bondi to Coogee and the Federation Cliff Walk from Dover Heights to Watsons Bay are excellent vantage points where you can see these giants of the deep at play. Alternately you can jump on the ferry to Manly for the North Head lookout, where whales can often be spotted, or head further north to Bangalley Head at Avalon Beach and Barrenjoey Lighthouse at Palm Beach, which are fantastic day trips with walking trials and spectacular views.
If you want to get even closer to these majestic creatures, then hop aboard a whale-watching cruise, which depart daily from Circular Quay, Darling Harbour and Manly.
For more info and to lock in your whale watching adventure with friends, head on over to:

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! ❤️
In honour of the romantic holiday, we’ve got another special international student love story for you – introducing our very own Project Officer Thomson Ch'ng and his wife, Ivy Chung!
Both hailing from Malaysia, the duo first met back in March 2013 at Sydney Town Hall, where Thomson was the project coordinator for the Council of International Students Australia’s international student employability forum, delivered in partnership with the City of Sydney. Ivy was the coordinator who organised and led a group of international students from CQUniversity Australia to attend the forum.
Both are former international students with similar aspirations, goals and interests. They enjoy sampling the different multicultural cuisines Sydney has to offer, exploring the NSW’s beautiful natural parks and above all, they are passionate about empowering and supporting young people, including international students.
They were married on 19 January, 2020. 🥰
Hope you’re all having a lovely day full of hearts, flowers and most especially chocolate! 💝💐🍫
