On the afternoon of May 21, the South Australian High School (Scotch AGS) in Ho Chi Minh City held a graduation ceremony for its first batch of high school students. The event was attended by Governor of South Australia Frances Adamson, Australian Consul General Sarah Hooper, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training Le Thuy My Chau, Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Industry and Trade Bui Ta Hoang Vu and Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Science and Technology Lam Dinh Thang...
Speaking at the event, Ms. Adamson informed that Vietnamese students can access Australianeducation right in Vietnam through the South Australian High School (SACE) program designed and developed by the SACE Council (the education agency of the South Australian government - PV). Although it is an Australian qualification, SACE is "recognized globally", Ms. Adamson shared, adding that many Australian and Vietnamese educational institutions have effective and sustainable international cooperation relationships.
Ms. Michaela Bensley, CEO of the SACE Council, said that the core of this program is to help learners broaden their thinking, understand different perspectives, and increase their self-reliance... "No matter where you choose to study in the world , always remember that you carry with you more than a degree. It is the ability, skills and confidence that will shape your own future," Ms. Bensley shared.

Nguyen Ngoc Thuy Tien, a 12th grader with excellent graduation results, shared a secret: don't just take pictures of your teachers' lectures on the board, "and then promise yourself that you will study them later." "You will definitely 'forget' and not do it," Tien said. "Or if you really review the lesson, when you look at the book or the pictures, you won't remember anything."
According to Tien, when exams come, many students try to cram knowledge, study all night and hope they are "lucky enough". "Sometimes we pass the exam. But after just a few weeks, if someone asks us a simple question, we will not remember anything", the female student concluded from personal experience.
That's why Tien learned the lesson: "Scores only open doors, but understanding is what keeps you in that room that has just been opened", and getting an A is easy to impress, but it's what you really understand that shapes the future. "That's why you should spend more time reading and understanding more deeply, because studying is not just for exams", the female valedictorian of South Australia Primary, Secondary and High School advised her friends and juniors.
Earlier this morning, during a courtesy meeting with Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Bui Xuan Cuong, South Australian Governor Frances Adamson said that there are many areas where cooperation can be promoted between South Australia and Ho Chi Minh City, from transport connections via direct flights to science and technology and especially education. In particular, study abroad policies are currently open to students from Vietnam.
Ms Adamson also stated that education has always been an important area of cooperation between Australia and Vietnam in general and South Australia and Ho Chi Minh City in particular. That is why on this working trip to Vietnam, the female governor was accompanied by many representatives of educational organizations such as StudyAdelaide, representatives of universities in South Australia. She also had a meeting with former South Australian students in Ho Chi Minh City during this trip.
