The School Partnership: Preparations for the Visit to Scotland

Since 2004 St Peter's Secondary has had a partnership, first with St Michael's Academy in Kilwinning, and then St Matthew's Academy in Saltcoats in Scotland. Below is the third group from St. Peter's to visit Scotland. They leave on the 20 March and return to Mzuzu on 30 March. 





“With hope, months got reduced to weeks, then weeks are reduced to a few days before we see and meet our friends in a new land, Scotland, U.K.  Scotland here we come.  Welcome us as usual.  God Bless you, friends!!”   
Mr. Ken Mughogho, Head Teacher



“Now that there are few days remaining to visit Scotland and St. Matthew’s, I am really excited to meet all the amazing people and learn something new about a different culture.

I am prepared to share many stories about Malawi and the partnership to all people whom I will meet.  I also hope to learn more from them.

It is also my hope that this trip will strengthen the partnership in that whatever we will share will help it to grow more and more.

Now, only waiting for the departure day!”
Rev. Fr. Phillip Nkunika




“I am looking forward to the trip to meet new people and friends and I am also happy that I will teach people in Scotland about Malawi, like culture, religion and the education which is in Malawi.  Not only that, when I will be in Scotland, I am expecting to learn more from the people in Scotland and also they are going to learn more from me about Malawi, like the culture, religion and education which is in Scotland and Malawi.  After coming back I will be able to tell and teach my fellow students at St. Peter’s Catholic Secondary School about what I have learnt in Scotland.”   
Blair Mwalilino




“When I will be there I expect to see the difference in terms of education.  I mean, how the teachers teach their students compared to our country, Malawi.  Additional to that I expect to see the cultural dances also I will be very happy to watch the brilliant game at Celtic Park.”   
Harry Nyirenda




“As a young Malawian going to Scotland I will be looking forward to the following:-
Experience a new world in terms of technology, infrastructure and being in a country where the majority are whites.
Looking forward to interacting with as many people as I can and to sharing experiences of our country.
Looking forward to thanking the people of Scotland for inviting, preparing and paying for everything to make our trip a success.”  
Alfred Nkunika




“I’m really looking forward to meeting new people, to experience a new culture and to taste different types of food.  I want to tell Scottish people more about Malawi and to learn more from them.  When I come back I want to tell my friends more about Scotland.” 
Lena Phiri



“I want to meet new people and friends, learn about their culture, how they preserve their culture, taste new food and hear new language.  I would like to see the climate in Scotland in terms of the snow and to play in the snow and make snow stars.  I would like to know how the pupils attend their classes every day.  Finally, I am looking forward to the travel using the air plane.”   
Annie Swalley



“I am looking forward to the trip to meet new people and friends, to experience Scottish culture, to see how our friends live there and to compare Scottish and Malawian culture.”
