The President of the Greek Community of Melbourne, Mr. Vasilis Papastergiadis and Ms. Georgia Charpantidou, who is responsible for the Historical Archives of the Greek Community of Melbourne, visited Psychico College on Tuesday, October 10, 2017, greekreporter.com notes in the following article:
The visit forms part of the cooperation that began between HAEF (Psychico College) and the Greek Community schools of Melbourne’s Language and Culture Schools, during 2016- 2017, with the commencement of the educational program entitled “Melbourne – Athens: A Journey of Friendship” Program.
The Program was designed and implemented as an outcome of the initiative of the Sociologist and Psychico College teacher, Ms Maria-Filio Tridimas.
The program – which was implemented with success in the academic year 2016-2017 – will be offered in the new academic year with the utilization of the latest communication technologies. Obliterating the distance between Melbourne – Athens, the program foresaw for Psychico College’s students (Year 10) the mentor-ship role, so as to improve their peer’s (Year 9, students of the Greek Community schools of Melbourne’s Language and Culture Schools, second or third generation Greeks) Greek language learning.
At the same time, it provides to Psychico College students the chance to become acquainted with the culture of Australia; in particular the way of life and living conditions, as well as the achievements of Greeks in Melbourne, through their communication with their peers in Australia.
