⭐ SCHOOL IN SINGAPORE! 🇸🇬 Thirty Year 9 students from Parramatta Marist High School had the incredible opportunity to travel to Singapore, taking part in a problem-based learning immersion program at Republic Polytechnic ✈️👏 The experience gave students valuable insight into the learning approaches they’ll encounter as they transition into senior schooling, while also allowing them to immerse themselves in Singapore’s vibrant culture and attractions. Highlights included visits to Singapore Zoo, Universal Studios, Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay Sands 🤩🌆 This unforgettable experience truly took learning beyond the classroom, opening students’ minds to global education opportunities! It's fantastic to see both students and teachers embracing such meaningful and enriching learning experiences 😊✨ See how Parramatta Marist takes learning beyond the classroom - learn more here: https://www.parramarist.catholic.edu.au/school-life/beyond-the-classroom
