| Proposed program |
| Describe the kind of program you would like to conduct and the outcomes you hope to achieve. |
Cultural exchange with Homebush P.S. in Term 3 involving Stage 3 students. This exchange would involve a visit to the local area as our school is 95% English speaking as opposed to Homebush P.S. being over 90% ESL. Many of our students have not been to Sydney or "close - up" with students from other cultures. |
