Penicuik High School

Penicuik High School formed a partnership with Tyolo secondary school in April 2006 following a visit to Scotland by Ms Hazel Manda, Education Division Manager of the Shire Highlands region, and the development of a personal friendship between Hazel and Mary.,,Both schools have exchanged e mails and Mary made an informal visit to the school (and many other organisations) in July 2006 in order to consolidate both the personal and institutional friendships which have been established.,,At the end of June 2006, PH5 students responded to a request from Mr Gama (the head teacher at Tyolo) for second hand football strips, boots and other sports equipment. These goods arrived just before Mary left Malawi.,,Mary hopes that the partnership will facilitate exschange of cultural values, joint projects and lessons which will be of mutual benefit to both communities. Penicuik High School are investigating the possibilities in the context of enterprise via EGC training afforded by UNICEF's education office in Scotland.
