Meet Novaldo
Hi, I am Novaldo and I’m a year 11 student at St John’s Catholic College in Darwin. I chose to study in the Northern Territory because it is a comfortable place to study for a student like me who has English as their additional language. I came to Darwin in November 2014 from Indonesia. Another reason I chose to study in Darwin was because I heard that many students that graduate from here become successful and I wanted to get the same opportunity as those people who studied in Darwin.
It has been two years since I came to Darwin and I have enjoyed lots of things throughout my time here. I enjoy the place, the school, shopping centres, technology, the curriculum, and the sports. The people here are good and friendly which make me feel comfortable and safe to be here.
