Centenary State High School, Brisbane City

To whom it may concern Introduction: Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Kelly Nakamura, I am 43 years old, and I have a Master's degree in Classical, Contemporary and Creative Dance. I am going to Australia for a period of 10 months to study English, in Brisbane, to improve my language skills in order to help me professionally. I plan to arrive in Australia in September 2025, the exact date depends on all the logistics. I am contacting you because I have a 15-year-old son who will finish the 9th grade of school in Portugal in July, equivalent to the 9th year in Australia. I am writing to express my interest in applying for a place at Centenary State High School for my son. I would like to know if you accept foreign students and if there is a possibility of enrolling him at the end of the year. I am excited about the possibility of my son studying at such a respected institution with an innovative educational approach. I chose Australia because it is a country which I love and I really want to visit. I could have chosen to apply for a course in England, Ireland or Canada, however, I would like to make the most of this opportunity in my professional life and combine learning with an excellent life experience which only Australia can provide me. My son practices Taekwondo, he is committed to sports and is very sociable. He stands out in the activity with several awards in championships, including a European one. He is currently a student at the Gil Vicente School Group, in Lisbon, Portugal. He is enrolled in the Articulated Artistic Theater course. In the curriculum, he has the following subjects: Portuguese, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Physics, Chemistry, French, English, Geography, Physical Education, History, Acting, Improvisation, Movement and Voice Coaching. As I am a single mother, my goal is to provide him with a new cultural experience, as well as the possibility of obtaining a good education. I appreciate your consideration for my application and look forward to the opportunity to be a part of the school community. I am available to provide further information or participate in an interview. Sincerely, Kelly Nakamura
