You are strongly urged to take this opportunity to progress your sister school relationship. Please see deetails below. ===

REPORT ON THE MVSSP 2011 AND PRESENTATION TO THE MOE MALAYSIA
===I am attaching a report I prepared on the program in July 2011. This report was prepared prior to the visits of the Ministry of Education, Malaysia officials to your schools in November 2011. If there are any further updates on your programs, please post them as well as as many photos of your visits to Malaysia and the visits of your sister schools to Victoria and share your experiences with us. I am also attaching a presentation given by Helen Masters to the Malaysian Ministry of Education during her visit to Malysia in November 2011**.**===

CASE STUDY
===I would also like to share with you Rosebud Secondary College's experiences with their sister school program, which has been used by us as a Case Study of successful sister school relationships. As you may be aware, the Government's Plan for Multicultural Victoria articulates a strong commitment to improving the provision of quality languages in schools. This includes a commitment to Strengthening the Sister School Program. Research is underway on the Sister School Program and recently Principals of all schools, government and non-government were surveyed on their sister school program. You are strongly encouraged to use every opportunity being provided to make a success of your current sister school relationship. I will be posting more information as it comes to hand.===
