'Innner city' school visits Woy Woy South

Woy Woy South Public School recently hosted students from Islington Public School in Newcastle, as part of the schools' efforts to learn more about inner city schools and students.

Islington Public School is a small school of approximately 100 students situated in the centre of Newcastle.

A large number of the students from Islington Public are from Sudanese and Nigerian backgrounds, with their families having only recently arrived on Australian shores.

Students spent the day interacting with one another and sharing stories about each of the schools.

Woy Woy South Public's ukulele and Pacific Island groups also performed for students on the day.

A class visit to Islington Public is scheduled to occur later on in the year, which will give students the opportunity to see first-hand what the differences are between Woy Woy South Public School and an inner city school.
