Wednesday, 14 September 2005

The 成人大片 took out the Premier's Award for excellence and high achievement in exporting at the Export Awards this weekend.

It also won the award category for outstanding export achievement in the field of education services, facilities, expertise and curriculum.

"The 成人大片 would like to thank the and Business SA for recognising our contribution to the state economy and the for the State," said the Vice-Chancellor of the 成人大片, Professor James McWha.

"South Australia becoming an education centre is part of the State Strategic Plan, with the State Government seeking to double the levels of overseas students within ten years.

"It is appropriate that the 成人大片 is leading the charge to make South Australia an international education centre of excellence.

"We currently have students and staff from over 80 countries and we can say with some pride that we have outperformed the sector in international growth, achieving a 24.7% increase in our international student load while the corresponding figure for all Australian universities was 8.5%.

"We will continue to develop relationships with South Australia's key trading partners in Asia and the rest of the world. International students from the 成人大片 not only inject many hundreds of millions of dollars into the economy annually, they take fond memories back home with them and become ambassadors for our state throughout their business lives, which has great potential effects for our economy over a long period," Professor McWha added.

All winners of Business SA export awards go on to the , held in Sydney on 1 December.
