After a great deal of negotiation between our region and the Sujhou Education Bureau in China, we were finally able to welcome Principal Shen and Niu Wei (Cindy), who is an English teacher, to our school on July 31st.
Unfortunately, our visitors were only in Victoria for three days, so their visit was quite a short one. we were, however able to provide a wonderful lunch and some time was spent observing classes.
Principal Shen and Cindy were quite shocked to see that we have only 43 students and two classes – although we have repeatedly told them that Yellingbo Primary School was different to their school back in China. Chang An Hua Yuan School has 1000 students and it is not the biggest school in Wujiang!
