On the 13th of July 2024, we received a heartwarming congratulatory message that made all of us smile. It was from Aino Puro, Director of Global Education Allies.
Dr Kaur and Mr Singh met Aino for the first time in 2018, which led to many wonderful visits from Global Education Allies educators. Dr Kaur and Mr Singh have also since been on a trip to Finland with Global Education Allies to learn and understand different approaches and perspectives to teaching and learning.
Following on from that trip, in August this year, staff from the school will visit Finland to learn from the schools and education system there in order to continue to provide a holistic educational experience for our students that is academically robust, values-based, cultivates a global perspective and prioritises mental and physical health and well-being.
We have enjoyed participating in a number of exchanges facilitated by Global Education Allies over the years. None of those experiences and learning opportunities would have been possible without Aino walking into our school all those years ago, so, thank you Aino!
