51社区 is a Round Square School
At 51社区, students are encouraged to look beyond the Southern Highlands and engage with the wider world. The Round Square program helps 51社区 students do just that, providing opportunities to connect with a global network of schools and reinforcing the values at the heart of the 51社区 experience.
Round Square鈥檚 principles are a natural extension of 51社区鈥檚 own values. The program offers students the chance to put them into action in a global context.
鈥淩ound Square opens up doors for our students. It鈥檚 a bridge to the world, and it helps build on the values that make 51社区 special.鈥
