BEYOND FLINDERS | From Flinders to Kenya – a journey of service and global learning 🌍
Since graduating last year, Old Flinderian Lucy Sinnamon has embraced her passion for travel and service, recently completing a five-month volunteer teaching placement at Starehe Boys' Centre & School in Kenya. This incredible opportunity came about through Flinders' Round Square connection.
Lucy immersed herself in every aspect of school life, teaching senior English, French, Biology and Life Skills, providing after-school tutoring, and contributing to debating, Model UN, swimming and band. She also established a French Club and a beginner clarinet program at a neighbouring primary school, sharing her love of language and music with younger students.
Inspired by her international experiences, Lucy will continue her global journey in 2027 after accepting an offer to study International Relations and Law at the prestigious Sciences Po in France.
During a recent visit back to Flinders, Lucy caught up with Round Square Coordinator Jodie Symons and joined a Senior French class, sharing stories from her time in Kenya and encouraging students to embrace opportunities beyond the classroom.
