The Principal, Ms. Liu, and teachers from 廣州外語外貿大學附屬中學(Affiliated High School of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies) were greeted with fine weather and “HLC hospitality” on the afternoon of 15 January 2010.  Their visit started with a school tour led by Putonghua-speaking teachers and students. Our guests were impressed by the state-of-the-art library and media centre, where they stayed the longest. The lesson observation that followed also triggered genuine professional dialogues. Despite the brief stay, both schools had developed an amicable link and were looking forward to future commitment.
