International Awareness

Welcome to Global Awareness at Slemish College.

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.
St. Augustine

Slemish College is committed to preparing young people to enter the world with a wide variety of skills & qualities.  By providing links to other schools throughout the world, our students are able to learn about other cultures, accept our differences, identify our similarities and develop into mature, well-rounded citizens of the 21st Century.  There is a world of opportunity at our doorstep, we just need to know how to look for it!

The Project is now drawing to a close.  Over the past 2 years, a total of 24 students have travelled throughout Europe, visiting Germany, Sicily, Spain, Sweden and France.  We also hosted an exchange visit in March when 9 teachers and 24 students came to live in Northern Ireland for one week.  Many thanks to all the families who generously welcomed students into their homes and lives during that week.
