http://www.thinkbefore.comA Student Safety Initiativeen-usIan Geddes, Danielle Hartridge and Larry AndersonA Student Safety Initiative Hi, my name is George. I am an international student in Australia. Australia’s a great place but it is a different from home. I am always learning new things and meeting lots of interesting people. I have to look after myself for the first time in my life. My studies and part-time job keep me busy. It’s hard some days to keep-up with everything, but it is important to keep a balance between study, work and my personal life. I also know I should access help when I need it. There are a lot of friendly and helpful people out there to support me during my stay in Australia. It's important that I go to them when I need advice and support. One thing I have learnt is you need to be aware of your new environment. Pay attention to your surroundings and most important think before your travel. Look after yourself and stay safe.Ian Geddes (VICPOL)ian.geddes@police.vic.gov.aufalseA Student Safety Initiativehttp://www.thinkbefore.comMon, 28 June 2010 19:00:00 GMTSociety & CulturePlaces & TravelIan Geddes, Danielle Hartridge and Larry AndersonfalseA Student Safety Initiative Hi, my name is George.
