Quaker school in China marks anniversary
A new school museum has been opened in the Guangyi Friends School in China
A new school museum has been opened in the Guangyi Friends School in China as part of the school’s 120th anniversary celebrations.
The museum opening, on 6 October, launched a programme of events to mark the anniversary of the founding of the school in 1894.
The museum traces the school’s history, and outlines the legacy of its Quaker founders. It also highlights the school’s role in the establishment of football in Western China. The region’s first regulation-sized football pitch was laid out in the grounds of the school in 1905.
