At South Thornlie Primary School, we are keen to continue teaching our students to understand the multi-cultural community we live in.
China Partnership
Three partnerships have been established since 2019
• Ding hui Primary School
• Jin Hua Huang Cheng Primary School
• Hangzhou Caihe No◦2 Primary School.
The partnerships will increase the internationalisation of the school, expand students’ and staff’s horizons, improve curriculum development, improve foreign language education, improve teacher development, and share quality educational resources.
Correspondence of penpal letters will continue with three schools in 2021. Two to three classes required. Exploring options of typing and emailing letters instead of mailing.
Partnership Aim: To develop a partnership with a sister school in China to widen our students learning experiences in both schools, share expertise in curriculum delivery in both schools and share cultural experiences with our school communities.
