A Celebration of Culture and Connection

At JMC Academy, creativity doesn’t just stay in the classroom—it flows into the heart of our community. This was especially true at the recent BET Festival, a vibrant evening of music, culture, and unity, proudly sponsored by JMC Academy. The festival brought people together in a celebration of Vietnamese culture, highlighting the joy and power that comes from being part of a supportive, creative community. 

Building a Home Away from Home

For international students, studying abroad can be an exciting yet challenging journey. Events like the BET Festival are vital in creating spaces where students can reconnect with their cultural roots while building new friendships. As Jasmine, JMC’s International Admissions Officer and a former international student herself, said during the festival, “Music is a universal language that connects us all. It’s about more than just performances; it’s about finding a place where you belong.”

Our Commitment to International Students 

We’re proud to support our international students and create spaces where they can connect, express themselves, and feel part of the JMC community. Sponsoring the BET Festival is just one way we show our commitment to helping students thrive during their time with us.

Highlights from the Bet Music Festival

The night was filled with musical performances from Vietnamese students in Melbourne, who played everything from popular covers to their own original songs. The energy was contagious, the crowd vibrant, and the unity palpable. The festival was a night of shared music and creativity, bringing everyone together in celebration.

Why Community Matters

At JMC Academy, we know that being part of a community makes all the difference. It’s not just about the classes you take, but the friendships you make, the mentors you meet, and the sense of belonging that lasts long after graduation. The BET Festival was a perfect example of how events like these help international students find their footing, build lasting support networks, and connect with peers who understand their experiences.

Looking Forward: More Opportunities to Connect

This is just the beginning. Events like the BET Festival are a reminder of the strength and vibrancy of our international student community. We look forward to more opportunities to come together, share our stories, and celebrate what makes each of us unique. At JMC Academy, we’re dedicated to supporting our students, not just through their studies, but in every aspect of their journey. Whether it’s navigating life in a new country or forging a career in the creative industries, we’re here every step of the way.
