To support our Korean students with their unique application needs, we invited Mr Kim Sungjun, a Korean application expert who gives talks at international schools around Asia about Korean application strategies. He was at UISG between December 18 and 20, giving a well-attended presentation for the whole Korean secondary community about Korean application strategies, 1-1 personalized consultation sessions for our Korean Y12 students and parents, and a useful workshop on how to engage in effective extracurricular activities for our Y11 students. It was a time of great learning for the Korean community, and UISG college counselling plans to invite him every year to support the unique needs of the Korean applications.
