about this website


This website will provide you with resources to assist you to support students from refugee backgrounds.

It covers 3 main areas:

        • Voices of refugee students
        • Support tips
        • Additional resources

The content was directed by interviews undertaken with students from refugee backgrounds who currently study at a university in Western Australia.
