Workshops
We deliver various cross-cultural workshops throughout the year, creating opportunities for our students, staff and local communities to participate and build cross-cultural awareness. These workshops and programs help build China competence and showcase Australian society.
Our programs are a mix of in-person and online events, covering a range of topics such as Australian sports, English- Chinese interpretation and Chinese art.
