In September, AngliSchools International (ASI) commenced a multi-stage, long-term engagement program to connect with potential partners in Indonesia. The focus of the program is to build relationships with schools and school leaders from our near-neighbour by facilitating study pathways for students, cultural immersion, and professional collaboration.
Fifty students from EDU Global School (EGS), a leading Indonesian K–12 network with campuses in Bandung, Cirebon, and Medan, were hosted by AngliSchools International for a two-week immersion. The students undertook workshops in academic English, business innovation, leadership, STEM and the Australian Curriculum. A fully immersive one-week placement for 18 students into Year 11 ATAR classes at Peter Moyes Anglican Community School was also included as part of the engagement with EGS. The Indonesian students were matched with local students that share similar interests and aspirations, and participated in a full range of school-based programs. Visits to TAFEs, universities and pathway providers ran alongside the program, building a deeper understanding of the education offerings in Western Australia.
ASI has also strategically engaged with the Association of National and Private Schools (ANPS), Indonesia’s largest association of over 400 national and private schools, which focuses on enhancing teaching, leadership, and governance. ASI was a driving force behind ANPS choosing Perth as the location for its 2025 Annual Leadership Conference. Western Australian education institutions were able to connect directly with 70 Indonesian school leaders and decision-makers, promoting pathways into Western Australia.
Peter Moyes Anglican Community School and St Mark’s Anglican Community School hosted on-campus leadership workshops for the delegates, sharing best-practice models of teaching and learning, student welfare, inclusion, and sustainability. The visits to our schools facilitated intercultural professional networking that laid the foundation for long-term collaboration, student exchanges, and shared initiatives.
