By Jon Tampoi

Bandar Seri Begawan - The School Immersion Programme (SIP) participants from Singapore were yesterday introduced to the Dam Marsal Primary School in Berakas.

Thirty-three primary students and six teachers from Nanyang Primary School, Singapore, are involved in the SIP.

The morning saw the Datu Marsal Primary School headmistress and teachers holding a sharing session with their Singaporean counterparts.

The School Immersion Programme is an educational exchange programme, involving students and officials from other countries. The visiting party will participate in joint programmes and activities with students and officials in the host country.

This programme allows the visiting pupils a chance to explore and broaden their experiences while in a different school and environment. The SIP is organised by the Science, Technology and Environment Partnership Centre (STEP Centre) in partnership with Brunei Shell Petroleum Sdn Bhd, with the support of the Centre for Learning and Training (CFLT) - which is a member of Cyberland International Pte Ltd, Republic of Singapore.

The project aims to allow for the strengthening of knowledge and interaction between Brunei and Singapore-students.

This will ultimately enhance the students awareness on the importance of respecting one another's differences and similarities through friendship-. The programme runs from November 20 to 26, and involves students of Primary IV and V. Various activities have been lined up for the visiting students, including a three-night stay with Bruneian families and trips to several places of interest.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
