Summer 2022

Rainey Kindergarten, Hangzhou has continued to flourish this year where the children are able to enjoy learning and improve their English skills. This year has seen the Kindergarten grow with an additional class joining their cohort.

The first enrolled class will be saying their ‘farewells’ to Rainey Kindergarten this year and we wish these children all the very best for their future success. We are confident that they will move into the next chapter of their lives with the excellent foundations and values they have built and developed during their time in Rainey Kindergarten.

In order to strengthen the links between our school and the Kindergarten, some of our Year 8 pupils created a video to send to the children in China explaining to them what a typical day is like here in Rainey in Northern Ireland. Through their RES classes with Mrs Ireland, our pupils enjoyed getting an insight into life in the Kindergarten and the children in Hangzhou were thrilled to see around the red brick walls of Rainey Endowed, thanks to our budding Year 8 stars. Some willing RES staff also joined together to create a video to send to the Kindergarten on World Hello Day which brought a little taste of ‘the Rainey’ to our Kindergarten on that special day of celebration.

We look forward with anticipation to what next year holds for this international link.
