CHILDREN at St Rose's School have interacted with pupils from The Philippines, Germany, Lithuania and Sweden.
Students have been encouraged to view the wider world and to consider the lives and cultures of children, which has helped them win the International Schools Award.
Several students from St Rose’s enjoyed a return visit to Sweden with further visits to Germany, Lithuania and the Philippines planned for 2009.
Live video links between schools brought the learning alive while the young people have developed international friendships, communicating via email and post.
To achieve this award the school joined the British Council’s Comenius Initiative, which is part of the European Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP). This provides opportunities for schools and colleges to introduce or strengthen the European dimension in their curriculum.
