Diploma of Conservation and Land Management“I was searching for a lifestyle change. I wanted to study in an environment where I could live near the beach and surf. Geelong o� ers a unique location as it is near the Great Ocean Road and the Surf Coast. All I can say is that it was a great experience and a great way to spend a few years. The Gordon has been really useful and I would recommend the experience to anyone.”

Jebin Lee, Korea

Chaiya Takviriyanun, Thailand

Certi� cate IV in Outdoor Recreation“The teachers were supportive and the fact that there are many local students in the class has been bene� cial to my English language skills.

The experience of living in a di� erent country far away from my family and friends has helped me to become more independent.”
