As we have and English Language Program at FHS, we are able to provide classes to improve students’ English language.

“I remember the first time I arrived in Melbourne three years ago. I was feeling lost and uncomfortable in the brand new environment for the new chapter of my study in VCE. Fortunately, I received tons of support and encouragement from the teachers and staff. Even more so, it makes me feel proud to be a member of the Footscray High School family. During the pandemic, I successfully overcame the multiple online-onsite learning crossovers. I got over the stress and other learning barriers. I kept reminding myself that nothing could stop me from pursuing my dream. Finally, I proved myself with my dream offer in a Bachelor of Science at the University of Melbourne.”Quoc Nam (Jacob) Dang from Ho Chi Minh City
