Australian Schools - the PASS Program
The Partnerships with Australian and Sabah/Sarawak Schools (PASS) is a unique
program with cross-cultural dimensions that provide young people and their
communities an opportunity to shape the world in which we live.
Participants from primary and secondary schools can establish long-lasting
relationships with their student peers in Sabah/Sarawak, Malaysia, developing
better cultural understanding, academic excellence, leadership skills and citizenship
qualities that mutually benefit all parties. Students are given the opportunity to
appreciate a deeper understanding of the shared historical heritage of both
nations, at the same time supporting the development and needs of students in
Sabah/Sarawak schools.
