Abstract

The present study addressed the self-perceptions of Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) missionary children, regarding the impact of their overseas experiences on their integration into Australian schools. The main purpose of this study was to identify the strengths and weaknesses of "Third Culture Kids" (TCKs) in order for teachers to better cater for their needs and to be more empowered to draw on their unique characteristics.
