ISB Students Gain Rock Lessons At Empire Hotel

Bandar Seri Begawan - A total of 78 students from the International School of Brunei (ISB) recently enjoyed an educational visit to the Empire Hotel & Country Club.

The main purpose of the visit was for the Year III students to learn more about rocks as part of their science project.

The visiting group was welcomed by Human Resources Officer Maszalina Masri and Human Resources Coordinator Azhar Rizam upon arrival at the hotel's Marine Centre. The group was led by their Year III teachers.

Empire Hotel & Country Club Landscape Manager Gregory Hodges was delighted to present a talk on rocks and minerals. The children were fascinated with the various samples presented.

Following the talk, they were taken for a tour around the hotel and were shown the types of marble, sandstone and granite available around the property. The tour ended with a fun game about rocks.

The trip provided the students with an in-depth understanding about rocks.

"We are delighted to be part of this educational project. It was indeed a pleasure to share my knowledge on rocks and minerals with the students and on my part, it was rewarding to see how interested they are in this topic, said Gregory Hodges. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
