We are thrilled to share that Footprints International School has been selected to participate in the prestigious ASEAN-Australia BRIDGE Program for 2025-2026! This program is an initiative of the ASEAN-Australia Centre at the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and is implemented by Asialink Education at the University of Melbourne.

The selection process for this program was highly competitive, with only the most outstanding schools chosen from a large pool of applicants. Schools were assessed using a rigorous rubric to evaluate the quality of their responses, and we are proud that Footprints International School was recognised for our strong application.

The ASEAN-Australia BRIDGE Program connects schools in Australia and Southeast Asia, fostering collaboration through an 18-month journey that includes:

1. Professional learning workshops for educators.
2. Reciprocal teacher visits between partner schools.
3. Student activities to build global competence and intercultural understanding.

This opportunity will allow Footprints to develop a meaningful partnership with an Australian school, engaging our teachers and students in shared learning experiences that promote cultural exchange and collaboration. Beyond the formal timeline of the program, Footprints will foster long-lasting relationships not only with our partner school in Australia but also with other participating ASEAN schools, creating a broader network of shared learning and global engagement.
