Why Lean on me?

The idea to use the phrase lean on me came from a joint concert held in Kincorth Academy between the two partner schools. A joint choir was formed for the week and the song Lean on me was picked. The group felt that the word were so appropriate that we should adopt it as a slogan for our partnership and purchase the domain name leanonme.org.uk

Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain, we all have sorrow.
But if we are wise, we know that there's always tomorrow.
Lean on me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend.
I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need somebody
to lean on.
Please swallow your pride, if have things you need to borrow.
For no one can fill those needs that you won't let show.
You just call on me brother when you need a hand.
We all need somebody to lean on.
I just might have a problem that you'll understand.
We all need somebody to lean on.
Lean on me when you't not strong, and I'll be your friend.
I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna' need
somebody to lean on.
You just call on me brother if you need a friend.
We all need somebody to lean on.
I just might have a problem that you'll understand.
We all need somebody to lean on.
If there is a load you have to bear that you can't carry.
I'm right up the road, I'll share your load if you just call me.
Call me (if you need a friend)
Call me

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. It is hoped the exchange will also encourage future pupil exchange trips and cross-curricular projects, as well as the setting up of a joint website . School 71 specialises in the teaching of English and both staff and pupils are particularly interested in British - and especially Scottish - history. The visitors arrive in Aberdeen this Sunday (April 10) and will a

Stereotypes: the truth or myth

Joint Gomel-Aberdeen Project    Teachers and students of Kincorth Academy from Aberdeen during our visit to Scotland in 2013 introduced their project about Belarussian traditions and customs. They represented a poster to show some stereotypes about Belarusian people. The aim was to find out if some stereotypes were true or false. Teachers and students of our Gymnasia decided to make a responsive action: to continue the project, showing stereotypes we have about Scotland and its people. In  October, 2016 students are going to represent their project to the quests. From school-71.iptv.by

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
