By Huraizah Ahmad

Bandar Seri Begawan - Ten students from-the Sayyidina UmarAl-Khattab Secondary School (SMSUA), Kg Lumapas yesterday has left for Brisbane, Australia on a ten-day educational trip.

The trip was fully sponsored by HSBC, under its recently launched `HSBC Cares' Corporate Social Responsibility Programme (CSR).

The trip to Brisbane was organised by Ms. Linda Galbraith of SMSUAs English Department.

The trip will help students to blend into an English-speaking environment, develop cross-cultural awareness while having a great time. While in Brisbane; the students will attend an intensive English language course at the International College of Queensland.

The course, which includes activities to enhance oral and written skills, will further develop the students' fluency in English language and general communications ability.

The students will also be visiting several places of educational interests such as the Queensland Museum and Art Gallery.

The students will also be able to experience the dioramas of Australia's history and wildlife and exhibits of Australian and Aboriginal art.

Mr Priestley said the trip was a wonderful opportunity to reward the selected students for their achievement at school in Brunei whilst widening their horizons.

HSBC believes strongly in the value of learning. We know this trip will benefit the students in their learning and subsequent careers.

With the help of their teachers, who have put so much work into the project, the students will be able to enjoy themselves while learning about a different country and culture.

They will hopefully return reinvigorated and freshly determined to achieve their full potential at school and contribute to Brunei in their subsequent careers," he said. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
