Each visiting student has been paired with a buddy, and they’ll be following their buddy’s full timetable for the week, getting a real taste of school life here. This is an incredible opportunity for our students, especially those in our Mandarin Excellence Programme, to immerse themselves in Chinese culture and practice their language skills with native speakers. ️ The visiting students are part of the Global Schools Community and Partnership Programme, which fosters and establishes a meaningful international partnership with another school anywhere in the world. We’re all so excited to share our school and culture with our visitors, and we are sure they’ll have an unforgettable experience. A big thank you to Tao and John Rolfe MBE, the [Global Schools Community and Partnerships](http://www.globalschoolalliance.com/) Manager, for making this exchange possible.
