Dear Parents
One of the good things about CIS (who are visiting us again next week) is their little obsession with Global Citizenship. They insist that schools really embrace both the idea and the practice.
At Wellington College Bangkok, Global Citizenship involves LEARNING, and DOING GOOD.
We LEARN about people and places around the world and how their ways of thinking and living may be different to ours.
Understanding what we can, from first-hand experience and reliable evidence, we TAKE ACTION for the benefit of all people, societies and environments, not just our own.
The thrilling thing for me is the action: we are doing things which directly, and immediately, help people. Last week’s Global Citizenship week in Senior; the Welly Walk; the Giving Tree project; we have many, many, many examples.
If you are involved with that CIS visit next week: thank you very much. I hope you enjoy talking to the visitors – I am quite sure they will enjoy talking to you 😊
