About the trip to Perth, the programme which I enjoyed most was the visit to Mercedes College. On that day, I was excited to meet the students as there were many things that were different between the students from Perth and us, the students from Singapore. Sometimes, curiosity's a good thing and I really wish to learn more about them! :D
Upon arrival, Mr Chris Coles, the deputy manager, greeted us and briefed us on the school academic system, history, etc... Actually, their academic system was not much different from our school's academic system. For us, we have Secondary 1 to 5, where as they have Year 8-12. Also, the number of students in each class were on the average of 30 per class. After that, we split into groups of five and one of the students brought us around the school. The student who was in charge of our group was Mary from the 10th year. She was nice and gave us satisfying answers to our questions.
After the tour around the school, we were split into pairs and brought into different classes of different years to have a look of how the lessons were taken place. I paired up with Kimberlyn and the class we were brought into was the Year 12's. The students were having Geography lessons at that period. We were warmly welcomed and sat at the front. Due to the lesson being taught was Pure Geography and of a very high level of understanding, we were rather confused with what the teacher was teaching. Still, the teacher was nice enough to explain to us about the lesson and apologised as the students were preparing themselves for their upcoming exams. That, we can all understand. Soon, the lesson ended and we bid good-bye. Before leaving, we took a photo with the students and headed back to assemble with the teachers. After everyone were back, we had a big group photo with some students and staff. Also, we gave our magnets to the students before leaving for our next activity.
Overall, the Perth trip was enjoyable and I really love it! Many thanks to the teachers who had put in many efforts and hard work to plan our trip! All of us really appreciate it. Most importantly, we had fun together and bonded lots! I Love Perth! :)
