East West Program


The East West Program aims to encourage interaction between international and local students and staff and promotes the sharing of skills and experiences. The Gardens Point Program promotes recreation opportunities such as trips and social functions, specific cross-cultural activities, accommodation services for international students and linkages with international student associations.

The Concept behind East West

“East-West” is about celebrating diversity. It is a venue of acknowledging skills, self expression and cultural confidence. It is about listening to stories of sojourners both international and local students who have been overseas as students. It is about both students and staff in an equal footing, sharing a good break in style and on campus. It is about instigating a new habit of cross-cultural awareness and being comfortable with it. It is about announcing a series of events thereafter that are all geared towards a sense of community, goodwill and friendship. It is an invitation to all to participate regardless of race, cultural origin, religious conviction, political beliefs, gender, age and professional orientation”.
