Aconsequence of this ‘internationalism’ is our endeavour to use a broad range ofinternational examples to support our inquiry-based programmes. Additionally,however, we will use our East African context to support these same programmes,whether this be through academic or co-curricular fieldtrips, academic programmes,or school activities. Weare fortunate to be ina position to reflectsuch a broad context,and are certainly proudof the way in whichour students embracethis opportunity.
