Chinese ESU Project

February 2009

Between 19th January and Friday 6th February, Grey Coat hosted two students from our partner school in China - the Shanghai No. 3 Girls School. This was initiated and sponsored by The English Speaking Union (ESU) through an ex-Governor. The two students stayed with host families from our Yr 11 Mandarin class. They primarily helped in Mandarin lessons but also attended some other subject lessons which they had expressed an interest in. There was a trip for the students once a week. The girls were asked to prepare an assembly on Identity, which they presented at both upper and lower school. They have written their own account which you can download below:
