China Partnership

Following some negotiations by email with Shuangshi Middle School in Xiamen in South East China it was decided to try to set up a partnership.

The Scottish Executive and Jack McConnell in particular is keen to establish links with China. As the most populous country on the planet and with a dramatically growing economy it is clear that China will be increasingly significant in our world.

We as a school wish to contribute to global citizenship and to increase the understanding between our pupils and peoples in other countries.

With support from the British Council and our own Education Authority, myself and Mrs Maureen Bryce, our International Coordinator travelled to Xiamen during the October break to fully discuss a partnership with Shuangshi Middle School and to visit the school.

The partnership was signed and you can read the details of our agreement and a log of our visit on the website.
