MAMA Director, Leigh Southwell, is currently leading a visit to the Solomon Islands for eleven teachers from Canberra schools – Marist College Canberra and Canberra Girls Grammar School.
The visit, which has been supported by the Solomon Islands High Commission in Canberra, provides a wonderful opportunity to engage with MAMA’s project partners at Mercy School, Tholana and Amoana Christian Academy and experience the impact of the projects firsthand.
“I am delighted that you have all joined us to improve the quality of education in Solomon Islands by supporting these schools. Over time, these new buildings and interactions between our students will deliver on better learning outcomes and opportunities for all girls and boys to choose careers they desire and aspire to.” – His Excellency Robert Sisilo, Solomon Islands High Commissioner to Australia
