Teachers from Gomel to visit Kincorth Academy

Image
Pupils and staff at Kincorth Academy are preparing to give two visitors from Gomel in Belarus a truly Scottish welcome next week. Two teachers from School 71 in Gomel are to visit the school as part of ongoing work to develop links between Aberdeen and its twin town. Last October, two teachers from Kincorth travelled to Gomel to visit School 71, to compare notes on teaching practice, the curriculum and general school life. Biology teacher Corinne Digges and Design and Technology teacher Alan Tullock brought back letters from around 200 pupils and many pen-pal friendships are still going strong.

Kincorth Academy - School 71 Partnership

Image
Kincorth Academy has been in partnership with School 71 in Gomel for many years. This year, we  are continuing this partnership and pupils from Gomel are coming over to Aberdeen to spend a week with Kincorth Academy pupils. The pupils from Gomel arrived in Aberdeen on Sunday 6th October where they began their stay with various pupils from around the school who acted as hosts. In doing  this, it allows them to fully experience the lifestyle and culture in Scotland which is considerably  different than their own country. It’s a great experience for everyone involved. We look forward to 2014 as pupils from Kincorth Academy are set to travel over to Gomel. Source: Kincorth Progress. Some items of news from Kincorth Academy, October 2013
