Suzhou Partnership With CPS
Partnership with A Primary School Attached to Xinsu Normal School in Suzhou, China
Canterbury Primary School has developed a strong partnership with A Primary School Attached to Xinsu Normal School in Suzhou, China as a part of our commitment to enhancing intercultural understanding and engaging with Asia. In August each year, we host a delegation of students and teachers for a week. This involves cultural immersion through home staying with Canterbury families and participation in school learning programs. In September each year we make a return visit with Canterbury students in Years 5 and 6 provided the opportunity to visit Suzhou and experience life as a student in China. Where possible students spend time in a homestay with students from Suzhou who visited in September. This two week annual ‘China Study Tour’ also involves visiting Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) and Beijing.
Each year the students from Canterbury travelling to China maintain a travel blog which can be accessed below:
