During the week the students worked in their cross cultural Innovation Teams where they developed deeper intercultural understandings as well as explore and present solutions to seven of the United Sustainable Development Goals. The energy and enthusiasm displayed by the students was clearly evident as they worked collaboratively in our new STEM spaces on the Senior Campus. Other activities such as the Adelaide City Adventure Trail saw the competitive spirit of the teams as they raced around the Adelaide City to find clues to questions and be the first team to finish this amazing race! The excursion for our visitors to the Gorge Wildlife Park and Melba’s Chocolate factory was enjoyed by all and many happy snaps of the Koalas will be memories that our visitors will reflect upon in the years ahead. The Cultural Performances were an outstanding display of the cultures of each of the schools. The middle campus students who walked to the senior campus on a rather warm day were truly rewarded for their efforts. The Closing Ceremony, whilst sadly bringing an end to such an amazing week was nevertheless filled with excitement as the best Innovation Team and winner of the Adelaide City Adventure Trail were announced, the exchange of school pins and cultural gifts ensued, as well as surprise visitors, baby Koalas from the Fauna Rescue team were cuddled and presented more photo opportunities. Our inaugural Global Summit surpassed our expectations. We were extremely impressed by the solutions that the Innovation Teams presented. The global partnerships that our school has developed through this event will grow our range of sister schools as well as expanding this Global Summit to a Triennial Event, with Ritsumeikan High School in Japan, and Kamehameha Schools, Hawai’i, USA. We are extremely grateful the NMHS Community, particularly the families who kindly hosted our visiting students and staff. We also extend our appreciation for the support from our local community for their generous sponsorship of our inaugural Global Summit. Andrea Sarantaugas Assistant Principal International Programs
