Discover Ghana Tours

Discover Ghana

School Partnerships

We have also new schools joining our program this year.

We actively help to support these links and have support groups for the schools both in the UK and in Ghana. We also have assisted schools who have developed their own links and want assistance in organising their visits to Ghana

This link was also set up in 2002 and has developed in a similar way as the Uckfield link with the  students from Ghana and the UK working on joint projects.

The curriculum projects have developed in English and drama, environmental science and geography. When teachers and students visited the UK the geography teacher brought a video of his cocoa farm and he presented it in a lesson which he taught to the UK students.

Hazelwick School’s first trip in July 2002  involved a small group of students who had been actively involved in trying to set up a link with Ghana In December of the same year another group visited Ghana and this has progressed into a very successful link with visits from the Ghanaians to Crawley and joint Drama productions have been given both in Ghana and in the UK. The UK teachers have also built up the tradition of teaching a lesson in Ghana –often to a class of more than 60 students.

Hazelwick have also raised money to build a kindergarten school in a village called Surveyline. The school is finished , but not without problems and the students have learnt some hard lessons. 

Text Box: The fifth group to visit Ghana and consisting of sixth form students, staff and a Governor has recently returned from that country. The visit included renewing contact with two villages, Xavi and Survey Line, in the latter of which we have been funding the construction and equipping of a nursery school. The group also widened its links with the Aggrey Memorial School on the Cape Coast of Ghana and our curricular links with that school are becoming diverse and powerful to the point where we are close to embedding them within the wider curricular life of Hazelwick. By this means, all pupils will have opportunities to explore a completely different set of experiences and issues that represent aspects of life in Ghana. This visit is, for many who take part in it, a life-changing experience. It is a contribution being made by Hazelwick towards a better understanding of the global issues that face us all. It also enables students here to widen their perspective on what is of real importance in their lives. I hope that all families will continue to support those whole-school activities held from time to time in order to generate further funds for this immensely valuable project.
