Do you embrace the international community, or do you prefer the convenience of building friendships within your own culture and language?

In this weeks assembly we questioned the boys on whether they had friends from different countries. All the boys thankfully stated they had. This is an important part of being in a Boarding Community and making friends internationally.

“It is easy to make friends with people from the same place”

“Making friends with people from other countries has opened my eyes to different cultures”

“I came here to make friends internationally”

“My friends here, have become like my brothers- it doesn’t matter what country they are from”

“Its a waste of an opportunity to only stay with a group from your own country”

“It’s helped me improve my English”
