Pen pal Project, Year 8 & 9 English

Year 8 & 9 students connect via pen pal with a school in Brazil.

Colegio Salesiano Jardim Camburi

Since 2018 our Year 8/9 students have taken part in a pen pal project with students from Colegio Salesiano Jardim Camburi  in Brazil. During a set number of English lessons our students write a personalised letter to their Brazilian counterpart. All the letters are then boxed up and mailed to the school in Brazil. The students then eagerly await their returning letter. This project was set up by Ms Smith together with Professor Mariana Brotto who have been friends since 1992 when they were both Rotary Exchange students in the US. The English Department hopes to continue this project for many years to come.
