kids teaching kids

Kids Teaching Kids is an innovative programme that has been implemented at Sherbrooke Community School. For one period each week  the VCAL students work with one of the primary classes in rotation.

This programme holds many advantages -
  • both groups of students learn how to communicate with different age groups,
  • it builds community, giving a link between the senior school and the junior school,
  • it gets kids out into nature and specifically appreciating its beauty,
  • the students take ownership of the kitchen garden, and
  • it gives the VCAL’s a chance to show leadership and responsibility.
