Launching ‘Maligayang Pagdating’ booklet in Darwin: A Beacon of Support for Filipino Students

The collaboration between the Filipino-Australian Association of the NT, Inc (FAANT), Study NT, and the NT Government in launching the “Maligayang Pagdating” booklet local directory in Darwin is a significant milestone for the growing Filipino student community and beyond.

Beyond practical assistance, this initiative serves as a beacon of support and unity within the Filipino community while highlighting the broader importance of multicultural inclusivity.

By providing a comprehensive directory of essential services and resources, the booklet addresses the pressing need for Filipino students adjusting to life in Darwin, helping them feel more at home and connected to their cultural roots during their educational journey.
