I have recently returned from
Vietnam where I interviewed a number of very bright
students for our scholarship program. Our program
is unique and attracts a lot of attention, mostly
notably from students from humble backgrounds who have
won scholarships to attend Vietnamese Schools for the
Gifted.
There is one outstanding
female student applicant, Mai, for whom we have no place
in the girls' boarding house, as it is full. Mai is
hoping to enter Year 12 in 2010.
She has a family friend who
can accommodate her in central Melbourne for weekends
and holidays. We are seeking a School family to
accommodate Mai from Sunday - Thursday nights during
term time in 2010. An alternative might be for two
families to share the responsibility for one semester
each.
Mai is gifted, has excellent
English skills and an outgoing personality.
As the School is supporting
Mai's fees, and assisting with books and uniform, there
is no provision for payment for her accommodation and
meals. The School will acknowledge the support of the
family/ies who assist Mai.
I urge you to consider this
opportunity and help support this very worthwhile
student. Please contact Gary Van Den Elsen on 9788 7708
