G’day Mate! Local Students Take Virtual Trip To Australia

October 26, 2015

G’day mate! Hundreds of students at Bratt and Byrneville elementary schools recently took a virtual trip to Australia, thanks to The Global Corner International Learning Center.

The students spent time learning  through hands-on activities about the language, arts, culture, geography and more of a unique land half a world away. Each year, The Global Corner teachers take students from their classroom virtually to another country. Through The Global Corner, local students have “visited” Japan, Spain, Egypt, Brazil, Russian, Italy, Kenya and now Australia.

Other North Escambia area schools will take the Global Corner virtual trip to Australia. The program will visit Molino Park Elementary in November and Jim Allen Elementary in February.

Pictured top: Thanks in part to a grant from the International Paper Foundation, The Global Corner was able to provide Passport to Australia Activity Books to K-2 students at Bratt Elementary School. These books reinforce the information taught during our Passport to Australia with fun activities.
