Northcote High School has a long tradition of developing ties with schools overseas. In the 1930s students at Northcote High School corresponded with a school in Poland, and in the early 1950s the school began the practice of enrolling and hosting students from overseas, partly under the auspices of the Colombo plan. In 1999, a sister school agreement was made with Huaibei Number One High School in Anhui province, China. Staff and student exchanges are conducted with this school every year. A second sister school agreement was made in 2002 with the Romanazzi Institute in Bari, Italy.
In 2010, there are approximately 80 International students studying at Northcote High School, all in the post compulsory Years 10 -12. The students come from 14 different countries, including China, Vietnam, Korea, Germany, Thailand and Italy.

Famous quotes containing the word links:
“The conclusion suggested by these arguments might be called the paradox of theorizing. It asserts that if the terms and the general principles of a scientific theory serve their purpose, i. e., if they establish the definite connections among observable phenomena, then they can be dispensed with since any chain of laws and interpretive statements establishing such a connection should then be replaceable by a law which directly links observational antecedents to observational consequents.”
—C.G. (Carl Gustav)
