Adopt-A-School, started in October 2002, is a cross-cultural initiative that links schools in Western Australia with underprivileged schools in Bali.
This initiative was established to encourage friendship and cultural understanding between teachers and students across cultural borders.
Adopt-A-School involves a commitment to improving cultural understanding through compassion, trust, integrity, respect, friendliness, generosity and purposefulness.
As part of the project, participating schools exchange letters, drawings and projects reflecting life in that school, community and country.
Western Australian schools also assist by sending educational resources to Bali and assisting in fundraising projects.
Today there are 90 schools in the Adopt-A-School Association.
