An established link between a local school and its Indonesian partner enabled pupils from Indonesia to visit Keighley for the first time.
Six girls from Darunnajah Islamic Boarding School spent 10 days in England thanks to a connection with Holy Family Catholic School.
The girls, who were aged 15 to 17, stayed with four local host families. They attended lessons at Holy Family and learned about British culture.
They were accompanied by their school’s principal Dr Sofwan Manaf, his wife, Rizma Ilfi and teachers Much Hasan Darojat and Syaeful Hadi.
Mr Darojat, who teaches Arabic and religious education, said: “This is the first time I’ve been to England. It’s a wonderful and historic place with very old traditions. Whenever I think of western civilisation I think of England first.”
