ON an international level, St Paul’s has created links with the  (Sri Lanka), and  in Zambia.

Pupils have visited partner schools in both countries, volunteering in the local community and supporting the teaching of the children as well as understanding more of the challenges that charities face working in the developing world.

The partnership with Beyond Ourselves was launched in 2017 with a highly successful whole school fundraising walk. The community, staff and students walked, swam and rowed the distance between Barnes and Ndola in Zambia where the charity are based, raising over £35,000 in the process. Since then, over 20 pupils have gone on to visit the charity, learning about its work in Zambia. The latest joint trip was in partnership with St Paul’s Girls’ School.

TRIP TO ZAMBIA

TRIP TO SRI LANKA

is a small charity working at the community level in Sri Lanka across both health and education. The partnership with St Paul’s helps with their English language programme in a numbers of schools as well as running sports camps.

The boys spent two weeks in Galle situated in southern Sri Lanka teaching oral English to primary school students in the morning and assisting with sports activities for secondary school students in the afternoon. The boys worked under the guidance of Senahasa teachers and gap year students to create engaging lessons and games to develop the students’ oral English skills.
