Global Schools Partnership Day 20th October

Next Wednesday, our school community will celebrate a virtual Global Schools Partnership Day to raise awareness and money for our partner school, Gesore

Preparatory in Kenya. All classes will engage in a range of activities to explore African culture, schooling, and the rights of a child. These activities will be shared with your child by their teacher. On this day we encourage all students to wear the colours of the Kenyan flag or traditional African clothing with bright and bold patterning.

Global School Partners facilitates partnerships between schools in Australia and schools in developing nations to enable students from across the globe to connect, share and learn with one another. We have been partnered with Gesore Preparatory for a few years now and we seek to continue to nurture this relationship through pen-pal writing, education, cultural and fundraising days.
