Greek Community of Melbourne schools welcome students and teachers from Perth

·

On Saturday, October 12, the Greek Community of Melbourne (GCM) Schools were delighted to host students, parents, and teachers from Perth’s Institute of Greek Language and Culture of Evangelismos at the Greek Centre.

The Evangelismos Greek School students traveled from Perth to participate in events celebrating the visit of His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew to Melbourne.

GCM schools perth

Their visit to the GCM School provided a wonderful opportunity for both schools to engage in Greek language activities, share insights about their programs, and establish connections that may inspire future collaborations.

During their visit, Maria Bakalidou, Principal of the GCM Schools, led a tour of the Greek Centre, introducing the guests to the school’s programs and curriculum. This was followed by a lively cultural exchange, featuring storytelling by author Syrmo Kapoutsi, as well as engaging educational games, music, and dance activities.

To further enrich the experience, Spyridoula Demetriou, board member of the GCM and member of the Education Committee, accompanied the visitors to the Hellenic Museum, where she provided an informative and enjoyable guided tour.

Reflecting on the visit, Mrs Bakalidou remarked, “We are always eager to build relationships and partnerships among Greek schools across Australia. Our shared goal is to promote and preserve the Greek language and culture. By exchanging ideas and experiences, we enhance our ability to support the needs of our schools and students, which are often very similar.”

The visit concluded with a shared commitment to ongoing communication and future collaborative efforts to support Greek language education in Australia.
