Jun. 2011

On Friday 23rd June 24 students and 4 teachers from Huayuancun Primary school in Beijing China visited St. Joseph's College for the day as part of their 7 day visit to London.

They had a Mathematics lesson on Code Breaking with Mr. Skinner and a Music lesson with Mr. Sanders, before having lunch with a group of SJC students who are studying Mandarin.

In the afternoon the visited 2 of our feeder primary schools, St. Anselms in Tooting and St. Helens in Brixton.

Visits from Chinese school students are now a regular occurrence because of the links we have developed through our Confucius Classroom status.

The next visit is from 16 students and 3 teachers from the Changzheng Secondary school, Shanghai. They will be with us on 4 days in July and we will visit their school in Shanghai 2 weeks later during the our summer immersion course in China.

Below are some pictures of the visit;
