Meet Barbara
After three visits to Australia, I made the decision to move to Darwin two years ago. I have chosen to pursue my studies as a childcare worker here because the city has provided me with the chance to receive a quality education in a place where I can enjoy the very best Australia can offer – great weather, friendly people and a lovely multicultural community. Darwin also has some of the most beautiful landscapes and sunsets you can find in the country as well as a laidback lifestyle that you won’t find in big cities.
Darwin gives me great opportunities to interact with so many international students and that is great because I can share my experiences with new and more senior students in the NT.
I am a very positive person, I think everyone needs a bit of positivity and for the past year I have been volunteering with projects and organisations such as Kindness Shake and the Melaleuca Refugee Centre to spread my positive energy.
