Last week, the Minister for Education, James Merlino, signed off on agreements between NHS and two Chinese schools - Baotou Foreign Languages School and Hengshui No1 High School. This is the culmination of four years of preparation by NHS, and has involved extensive consultation by most areas of the Department of Education. Next week we welcome a small delegation of Chinese teachers who we will induct into the mysteries of the VCE! If you see them around, please say hello and make them welcome!
