Local Community is Important to our International Students

As part of our ongoing Community and Service/ Environments elective the grade 9 & 10 students visited Birchlands Residential Home in Englefield Green, on Friday, 2nd December 2011. This residential home is a rehabilitation and care centre for people over the age of 60+ and some of the residents are nearly 100 years old.

This visit enabled students to broaden their outlook and was an attempt to help them connect with their local community. During this visit student demonstrated their care and appreciation for our ageing population by interacting with the residents and hearing their stories, thus developing a sense of school's theme of Actively Building Community.

The students came back excited, looking forward to develop this bond further. So watch this space is we continue to Actively Build Community.
