At first, I didn’t feel like going to Canada. I thought that it was going to mean a lot of time spent without seeing my family and friends. But when I arrived and saw my host family, and made friends, everything changed and I felt much better.

My family treated me just as if I were a brother of their other three children they had. I met a lot of new people at my high school, and I really hope to see them again sometime. We used to ‘hang out’, and we visited Vancouver city centre a few times, as well as the biggest mall in Canada – Metrotown. Click here to read more »

In Citizenship we must first examine the individual  – the citizen –  before we can discuss how human beings can work together to build communities in which individuals, and society as a whole, can flourish. 
So, we began the year by examining our individual identity: what makes each person unique and different from all others.  We looked at various aspects of our identity such as our physical characteristics, our talents and abilities, our personality traits, our social groups, our likes and dislikes and the personal memories that have helped to shape us as we’ve grown.  The students had to then represent their identity in the form of a ME COLLAGE in which they used words, photographs, drawings and symbols to show others these aspects of their real selves in a way that was creative and eye-catching.

Below is a sampling of ME COLLAGES from 2ºA, 2ºB, 2ºC, 2ºD and 2ºE.  Can you pick out your classmates, sisters, brothers and friends?  Can you discover sides of their personalities that you haven’t known about?
