International Students Visit from India
We were fortunate to have a group of 16 students along with their teacher from Sacred Heart School in Moga, India for an inaugural two week visit to learn more about each other’s countries, cultures and schools. It is a very unique opportunity to have an international group visit from India and build connections between our two communities. Their trip included visits to all the communities on the Sunshine Coast and time spent learning more about our local Indigenous cultures. Pictured here is the closing ceremony at Elphinstone Secondary and learning in our community with Teacher Barry Krangle. Thank you to all of our community who made their trip a memorable and educational experience!
