Western Australia

Western Australia is on the opposite side of the world from Wisconsin.  I will be in a suburb of Perth for at least the first 7 weeks.  It will be summer there when I arrive.  Average high temperature in February, 88 degrees!

I will be volunteering at Koondoola Primary School in Wannaro!

The organization that placed me in Koodoola School is called Travellers Worldwide.

Here is some information about Koondoola Primary School.



Koondoola Primary School is located approximately 17 kilometres (10 miles) from the Perth Central Business District in the City of Wanneroo and has an enrollment of 326 students. The school consists of two sections, the 'mainstream' part of the school, and the Intensive English Centre (IEC), which caters for the needs of recently arrived migrant children who have a limited or no understanding of English. This provides the school with a rich multicultural environment that is built on to show how different groups can work and play together in harmony.
