These relationships are strengthened by teacher and student exchanges to encourage cultural and educational understanding and growth.
Since 1999, Traralgon College, Lowanna College and Kurnai College have maintained sister school relationships with regular student and teacher exchanges for specified periods whenever practicable and they are all continuing to develop and leverage off these fantastic relationships.
