BRISBANE WELCOMES INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Rupert is proudly helping Brisbane's Lord Mayor Graham Quirk welcome international students to his home city.  
 "Rupert's participation in these Friendship Ceremonies lends a genuine layer of warmth and gratitude to these young people, imagining  
what it must be like for them to be away from their families and understanding the faith such families have placed in our society during the
time their sons and daughters are living and studying here. We thank him for setting the scene so magnificently at each Ceremony we hold"
