Swinburne International Student Survey – announcing the lucky winners!
 Swinburne International conducted an online survey of new international students who started their studies between June and October 2009. The survey was undertaken to help us improve our services and to give feedback to our agents to provide better services to future students.
We received about 250 responses and all respondents were put into a draw to win one of five Coles Group Gift Cards valued at $100 each.
Congratulations to the following students who are now a little richer!
