Sister School Program

This project was announced by Australian Prime Minister, Mr Kevin Rudd, during his visit to Malaysia on 10 July 2008. The aim of the project is to develop mutual understanding and people-to-people links between year 9 and 10 students in Australia and Malaysia.

In 2008/09 six high schools in Malaysia were linked with six schools in Victoria. Victoria was selected because of the interest shown by Ms Bronwyn Pike, the Victorian Minister for Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) during a visit to Malaysia. The schools were selected in consultation with the Malaysian Ministry of Education and DEECD.
