Avonbourne School
A Business & Enterprise College
International Day 14 November 2007
Avonbourne School goes global! 
Al salaam a'alaykum! Bonjour! Guten Tag! Ola! Konnichiwa! - Avonbourne and Portchester Schools are holding the first joint International Day on 14th November 2007. As part of Avonbourne’s Business and Enterprise week, the aims of the International Day are to increase global awareness right across the school and give opportunities for our students, in particular those aged 11-14 years, to show enterprising skills.
Students will be involved in a range of exciting activities in lessons including;
- The moon and beyond! - reflecting on the international contributions during 50 years of Space exploration
- Global rhythm - learning to dance Ghanaian style!
- Global impact - our carbon footprint and where our manufacturing materials come from?
- Asian games – exploring the ancient and fascinating game of Kabaddi in PE
- The developing world - researching the Indian cotton industry and the contribution of charities
- Constructive relationships - helping to design a real Islamic garden
But also included on the day is the tasty sampling of student recipes from the Cultural Foods project in Food Technology, cooked and served by the canteen.
The international day will also help further develop the links between Avonbourne School’s international schools partners including College Saint Joseph in France, Karigu Intinational School in Kenya, Al Aziziyah School in Saudi Arabia and Jamangile Senior Secondary and Macassa Primary Schools, both in South Africa.
The International Day will be even more memorable as groups of Avonbourne and Portchester students will be working together. Students will have the chance to reflect on important global issues such as interdependence, diversity and sustainable development. It’s sure to be an exciting and informative experience!
