Junior Round Square members have picked up their ink brushes to hone their Chinese calligraphy skills as they commit to better understanding and embracing other cultures.

Guided by Ardour Charitable Trust trustee Jessie Zhao, the boys have been developing their calligraphy characters and learning more about the ancient script.

Junior Round Square Year 11 students Jeffrey Jiang, Jack Hastie, and Benson Geng-Wang explain that Round Square opens the door to 鈥渨hat鈥檚 going on in the world鈥 and 鈥減romotes greater understanding among different cultures鈥.

They believe that committing to the six Round Square IDEALS of Learning 鈥 Internationalism, Democracy, Environment, Adventure, Leadership, and Service 鈥 enables 鈥渇resh perspectives鈥 and provides a platform for leadership.

The recipient of a 2022 国产午夜福church City Council Civic Award, the Ardour Charitable Trust aims to 鈥渃reate leadership opportunities for young people from different ethnic groups, promote cultural exchanges, and strengthen ties with local communities鈥.
