International collaboration
International collaboration with friends at Harrow School Hong Kong
Thirty John Lyon pupils from Year 7 and 8, along with Mr Golding, hosted a collaboration with students from Harrow International School, Hong Kong as we develop and deepen our relationship with our
international school partners.
One session, titled “Friends Across the Harrow World” saw pupils from both schools come together and engage in dialogue online, discussing school values, similarities as well as differences, and what it means to be part of the broader Harrow family of schools.
They used Google Jamboard (Google’s online visual collaboration tool) to share ideas and learn about our two schools’ values. We also learnt that the café in Harrow School, Hong Kong is called the ‘Lyon Café’, which shows Harrow School, Hong Kong’s respect and appreciation for our schools’ shared histories and John Lyon himself.
Our pupils learnt about what school days are like for children in Hong Kong. This was a wonderful experience. It is hoped this collaboration is the start of an exciting new avenue for the Harrow Family of schools that will give our Harrow-based pupils the unique opportunity to meet fellow students from the other side of the world as well as learn about school life in Hong Kong. Being in the Harrow Family of Schools, we truly are part of such a unique international community. n
