Today, we went to visit saint
marie's college. They were very enthusiastic about our coming and invited us into the hall to have the assembly with them. During the assembly, Julia and
Rebecca went up on stage to give a short speech and Mr
Chiang presented a plaque to the director of the school. After assembly, we were waiting for the allocation of classes. During that period of time, we introduced ourselves and managed to exchange our school song and our Singapore anthem. For the first lesson, we had Physical Education. The PE teacher told us to run 2 rounds around the field while dribbling a ball. This was followed by a series of stretching, which is very much the same like Singapore. After which, we were separated into pairs to join the groups to practice juggling of the soccer ball. It was really tough, however, the pupils demonstrated it and they were really good. After a while of practicing, we were split into girls and boys to play a match within our own gender. It was fun and enjoyable as they are very good at athletics. When PE ended, we went on a tour around the school looking at the various subjects and rooms. It was very simple compared to the classrooms in Singapore. We were then split up to attend different classes- Chemistry, IT and travel and tourism. We sat in class for 2 periods that lasts for one hour then we went for lunch. Traditional Mauritian food was served at lunch and it was a whole new experience of food. After lunch, the student council of the school prepared a treasure hunt game for us where other students also participated in. The game started with an obstacle course where the first group who wins is at an advantage. The game continued on with clues all over the school and we had to find them. The first group to find all the clues would be led to the Olympic Room, specially decorated by the students. The Olympic Room was very beautiful and very detailed. All groups were given prizes however, the first group that came in had the biggest prize. We then performed our songs that we had prepared for them and they enjoyed it as much as we did. It was time to say good bye at the end of the day. So we had exchanged emails and names so as to keep in touch. We ended off with a group photo with the student council of Saint Marie's college with their teachers and all of us from
Queenstown Secondary School. On the way back to the hotel, we stopped by a supermarket and bought lots of food to bring home. This has been an amazing day for us as we learnt so much from the students. We hope to come back another day to share more about us.
