Welcoming Our Second Chinese Cohort to St Simon Stock

On 14–18 July, we were delighted to host our second visiting student cohort from Beijing, China; a wonderful continuation of our growing international partnership.

During their time with us, each visiting student was buddied up with a St Simon Stock student, who welcomed them into school life and accompanied them to lessons throughout the week. This buddy system created genuine connections and gave our guests a real taste of what it’s like to be part of the Stocky community.

The week concluded with a truly special moment: the Beijing students staged a farewell showcase of dance and singing as a heartfelt thank you to the school. After the performance, students exchanged gifts and captured the memories with photos before saying their goodbyes.

It was a fantastic cultural exchange, marked by new friendships, shared experiences and warm hospitality, and we look forward to building even more of these global connections in the future.
