What the students said about YIUS:

"What I think about YIUS is it is quite nice school to help the students to go to world-wide universities with a warm heart. As I am the first student who came to Curtin Sarawak Malaysia from their institute, it is difficult for them to help in communication with Curtin malaysia but they tried to do and finally then I am a student of Curtin."

Happy 5th Anniversary.!
I've so many great memories back when I was in YIUS.... Even though I just attended Certificate IV which was only for 7 months,.. I was practically there for over a year..!! :P... Being able to help the school with events even after i had finished my course was actually a lot of fun for me.... I just really enjoyed the whole environment of the school... Everyone was close to each other,...usually teasing one another,...or discussing what to eat for lunch.. :P... Yeah,..everyone at YIUS loved to eat.!...We probably created a lot of profit for the canteen as well,...because, every time we ordered,. it would bea lot of varieties ..It was never just one plate per person.! Every break time was just a fun experience.. And not just with my classmates. But with the teachers as well...and of course,.. the staff!.. ..Some of the highlights of my experience at YIUS would have to be the times when I got to carry out my duties as the president of the student council, during my term... I remember the very first time I got in front of everyone to inform them about a school event,.. I was so nervous....and in the end,. I didn't even quite remember what I just said... I had to later ask Thaint if I even informed them right.. .And of cause, I will always remember the thrill of giving a graduation speech for the first time..!! ..I'm very thankful to all the teachers, staff and everyone at YIUS for being part of a time in my life that I'll never forget..... Happy 5th Anniversary ..!!

I realised that my life has advanced more than ever before since I decided to enroll into YIUS because I believed this school would help me achieve my career the way I want and I realized that I'm not high-school student anymore. At the 1st day I got to the school, I felt the atmosphere was fantastic and I felt comfortable talking with staff who were great and helpful. After that, I've met the teachers who were actually proficient at their job, and friends which became the greatest friends of mine and that was really important for me because I always feel stronger when they are with me. The experiences while I was at YIUS were incredible and learnt many new things which I didn't learn at my high school. Now, I'm studying abroad as the way I always wanted to be independent after I graduated from YIUS and making new friends and dealing with new experiences. This is kind of a challenge for me but I like it!! Again, thanks YIUS for everything and memories will always remain!! Keep it up, the same as you have done and I wish the school the best of luck!!!

In my life I got support to grow my life and stand successfully by myself from my parents, my family, my friends and of course YIUS, which played a main role in my life that I can’t forget. YIUS is a school with surrounded by friend ness, happiness, warmness, kindness, and freedom and this is due to its teachers, staff and everyone who are part of YIUS. Furthermore it is the only place where I could find my target goal and have a chance to set a goal. Yes, now I am walking on my set goal to achieve it. I have so many memories back at YIUS as I studied about two years at YIUS from PUE-1 to Cert.IVB. From all memories, I can never forget the events held by YIUS which were amazing and really happy. Yahh!! This is all I want to say now...as YIUS more than everyone says..And I'm very thankful to all the teachers, staff and everyone at YIUS for everything and I especially want to thank to Tr. Zin Thu and Tr. George who were my first teachers at PUE.I and they are really really nice and they are more than teacher. Ko Zaw Myint.....yah...he is also a very nice man and friendly.

First and foremost, as a former student of YIUS I proudly congratulate YIUS on achieving its 5th Anniversary. During my learning period in YIUS I had many great unforgettable memories that I will cherish throughout my life. I am also ever so grateful to all the teachers who taught me all that I needed to know both in education and in life. The YIUS staff have always been helpful and made my learning experience in YIUS all so much easier and I am also grateful for that. Furthermore, my learning experience in YIUS would never have been so much fun and memorable without all my lovely friends that I have gotten to know and adore.YIUS has helped make my transition to university so much easier. For example, back when I was attending public school I never had the chance of presenting in front of a crowd but during my time in YIUS I was given the opportunities to present in front of my class. This experience in particular has made things much less difficult now when I do presentations in front of a large audience in Curtin University.
I will forever be grateful to YIUS for nurturing me into the student that I am today and for that I will always hold a place in my heart for YIUS. Lastly, I would like to wish YIUS all the best and success in the future.
Love,
Chit Su (CIC, Perth)

Even though we are all lead on different parts in our own life and on to different careers, there is always something common in our heart and that is the time we've spent together with lots of memories and these times will be always remarkable, especially, the times I've spent at YIUS which has a lot of incredible memories, that were life changing!! I never imagined that I would experience many new things in such a foundation course, but after all that, I felt like I was ready for the next step of my life and my career. Thank you YIUS and keep it up as you always have done!!

YIUS happens to be the happiest part of my education journey, the place where I had a chance to find out my potential and the place where I could actually become somebody from nobody. I am very glad that I had a chance to meet all my friends and all my teachers. Even though this sentence seems boring, I do love them, I really truly love them. Even though I might have some bad memories, I can still remember all the moments I had in YIUS, mostly good ones. The time when I had to do the very first presentation, the first time when I had to stand in front of the class with all the eyes on me, the time when I had to read my first poem to the class, I was scared, I was terrified, but I knew that I had to do my very best because I knew what the teachers were expecting and I couldn’t disappoint them.
YIUS has taught me so many things. Most importantly, YIUS is the place where I know what the word “team” is like. Naturally, all of you might think this is because of all the group presentations. Yes, I will not say that these are not one of the reasons. But I believe the main reason is that how much time we actually spent together. It was amazing. If something bad was happening to a person, the others would be right beside that person to tell him or her to keep on going. The time like when one of my girl friends nearly crumpled down before the presentation, the time when I nearly cried in the middle of the presentation because I thought I was doing really bad. They would smile and say “It’s ok. You’re doing great,” or the concern on their face would really show that they were also afraid of you failing something. If I asked them why they care, they would answer to me “because you do”. They care about the things that I care. And they really made me feel that I am belonged to what it’s called a team. We ate together, we laughed together, we annoyed the teachers together like no one else would do and we joked around like total fools. Those were the times we could still feel like kids but we did take our responsibilities seriously. Most importantly, we learned things together and we really helped each other out not only in studies but in everything.
I have to admit that I was very lazy to go to school when I was in high school but in YIUS, I didn’t want to miss a day. I actually ENJOYED learning in YIUS. 7 months seemed so fast. Even before we knew it, the countdown began. Only one month was left, only three weeks, only 5 days. It was a very strange feeling. I have never been that disappointed in my life about something that had come to an end. No more seeing each other every day, no more sitting in our usual places in our classrooms, no more eating our favourite food at the cosy corner, no more fighting, arguing and then hugging each other after a fight, no more laughing with the teachers even when we “tried” to be very serious.
Now, I am attending James Cook uni in Singapore and I do make sure that YIUS’s name was mentioned every time my lectures say something good about me. All my friends know YIUS. You can ask them if you don’t believe me, haha. YIUS is the place I will always remember. It is the place where the journey of the studies for my life profession really began.
