An exchange programme was recently established between Ghana International School (GIS) and Lebone College, South Africa.
The collaboration between the two schools is expected to facilitate social network and skill transfer amongst students and staff while providing an internationally diverse school experience. It will also serve as an opportunity for students to share, experience and understand cultural diversity.
In Term 2 of the 2016-2017 Academic Year, the Lebone delegation visited Ghana to collaborate with GIS as it staged its 10th musical adaptation-‘The Prince of Egypt’. Participating students and staff were also immersed into classes and other co curricular activities.
