Study Melbourne team with school counsellors in Rio

Earlier this month, Study Melbourne hosted its inaugural School Counsellors’ Breakfast in Rio de Janeiro. The event brought together a group of committed school counsellors from some of Rio’s leading schools to foster open dialogue and the exchange of insights.

Participants were introduced to the breadth of study options available across Victoria, including:

  • world-renowned universities
  • high-quality government schools
  • vocational education and training (VET) providers.

Discussions also focused on Melbourne’s:

  • strong reputation for student support services and cultural diversity
  • appeal as one of the most liveable cities in the world.

We look forward to continuing these conversations and supporting more Brazilian students in discovering their future in Victoria.
