• “It would be too hard to describe my experience here with no more than words, but I am able to say that the months that I have spent at Bribie Island State High School have taught me things that I will never forget.  I have had an amazing time, learned about Australia and its culture, and built new friendships that I hope are going to last for my entire life.”  - Eugenia (Italy)

•  “Bribie is the perfect spot for an exchange year because you can access the whole island by bicycle and easily visit your friends.  Furthermore, you can spend a lot of time at the beach and try surfing and other water sports.”  - Pascal (Switzerland)

• “Being a student at Bribe Island SHS was from the beginning on a pleasure for me. Teachers and students helped me wherever they could and every single subject taught me something new. Bribe Island SHS provides many opportunities for everyone to get involved in, for example lunch time activities where there were dance performances or recognising special days like Valentine’s Day, Harmony Day, Anti-bullying Day, etc. Everyone took the time out to get involved to show what a great community Bribe Island SHS is.  It doesn't matter what nationality you are, students and teachers on Bribe Island SHS welcome everyone with open arms and try to make every international student the best time they can possibly have. I am grateful for every single day I spent on Bribe Island l and wish I would have been able to spend my whole school time in Bribe Island SHS." - Alina (Germany)
