Further Developing our Students' Global Citizenship
Pakenham Secondary College has participated in the Victorian Young Leaders Global Youth Forum for the past two years, which has given our students the opportunity to develop their leadership, global citizenship, language skills, intercultural understanding and awareness.
Through this program, our students have connected with peers from a range of schools and countries across the Asia-Pacific region including: China, Thailand, Japan, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore and the Philippines.
Developing a Sister School Relationship with Ridge Valley School will deepen our students' global learning, widening their understanding of different perspectives, cultures, lifestyles, traditions and international issues.
This collaboration will enable students and teachers from both of our schools to engage in various activities and initiatives to provide a cultural enrichment for all participants.
We are thrilled to welcome the staff and students of Ridge Valley School to our community.
