\"St<\/a>St. Joseph’s was delighted to host an information afternoon for some Dutch teaching colleagues this week. A total of nine colleagues from Holland joined us to find out a bit more about the Scottish Education System.

The school’s work on the STEM leadership programme had helped teaching students from the university work on the VIP approach last year. The Dutch colleagues were really impressed by the children, parents and staff as they were treated to presentations from the Parent and Pupil Councils as well as the Head Teacher on developments within the Scottish System. A school tour left the visitors mesmerised at the colourful wall displays and examples of Formative Assessment strategies being employed by teachers.
