"I am from Guangxi in southern China. I have been in Adelaide for one year. When I first came to Walford, I had trouble understanding English, but I feel much more confident with my language skills now. I really appreciate all the help my boarding house supervisors give me with my daily life. My favourite subject at school is mathematics because it is logical and based on reasoning. Adelaide is a safe and relaxing place to live, and I really enjoy swimming in the pools here." - Scarlett (Year 11)
"I came to Adelaide in 2022 from Kunming, China and joined Walford in 2023 at Year 10. Walford is a warm community with supportive teachers and small class sizes, which allows each student to be cared for. My favourite subject is EALD as I really appreciate the opportunity for more interactions in English and more knowledge about Australian culture. Through focused study of this subject, I am glad to see the progress that I made in English and my studies in general, and I was thrilled to receive the academic award for top student in Year 11 EALD last year." - Emily (Year 12)
