Wow! What an extraordinary group connecting with our student leaders and experiencing the Strathfield Girls High School magic!

This cultural exchange was a vibrant celebration of diversity and learning with these highly esteemed leaders sharing a traditional folk song, and fascinating insights into their education system. The visit truly enriched our understanding of the Solomon Islands' culture. Our students and staff were deeply inspired by the warmth and connection fostered during their visit. It was a wonderful opportunity to build bridges of friendship and understanding across the globe. Our visitors were so impressed with the maturity, depth and openness of our students and were so grateful for the opportunity to connect.
