Welcome to PISA's blog!

Welcome to the blog of Parkville International Students' Association or PISA. In this blog we strive to bring you the latest news concerning our association as well as being an avenue for you to seek assistance when the need arises. This blog will slowly replace PISA's website as a blog is easier to maintain. But the website will also be retained for sentimental purposes. Why pisa05? It because we want to remember that PISA is established in 2005. We hope you have fun in PISA. Happy reading!

Korean BBQ

On 4th of April 2008, to relieve possible stress from lectures and practicals, PISA had organised Korean BBQ EXCLUSIVELY for PISA members.

People started flowing in around 12pm...


Three of our chefs: Jyo, James and Vivian


On the other table, we prepared some kimchi (a traditional Korean fermented dish made of some select vegetables with varied seasonings), bread and juices to go with the food...


PISA members enjoying the food!



This event was quite a success! We thank everyone that helped out with the preparation and cooking and ALSO thank everyone that came along to share the fun! We apologise if you haven't been able to make it due to timetable constrains, we tried our best to fit in to everyone's schedule.

For the rest of the year, we've got brilliant activities lined up for you! So for non-members, if you wish be part of the PISA family, do approach one of our friendly committee members and we'll do the registration for you!
