St Mark’s Anglican Community School hosted students from Dacheng Yuejiawan Experimental Middle School in Hangzhou, China, for the inaugural exchange trip between the sister schools.
Principal Cameron Herbert said the schools signed an exchange agreement late last year. The school has another sister school in Japan.
‘The relationship has been both highly rewarding and culturally enriching for the students who have participated in the program, and we are looking forward to a similar positive result from our new bond with Dacheng Yuejiawan,’ he said.
‘We are looking forward to fostering this relationship in diverse ways over the coming years.’
