Tomorrow I would start my one-week JC immersion in River Valley High School, and frankly speaking, I am very exited about this coming experience. Back in 2008, I have stayed in a secondary school as an exchange student for also one week. That one week was an interesting and impressive one which I could still recall even now. I have seen various kinds of active classes, club activities, and the unity of the whole school. So for this one-week JC immersion yet to come, I am expecting not only those I have learned about 5 years ago, but I am also hoping to see all-rounded education and the thoughtful students that it brings.
I had my Singapore secondary school exchange when I was junior one, which was organized by my junior school. The secondary school I went to was Northbrooks Secondary School, located in Yishun. During that period, I was assigned to a buddy who was also secondary one, and that I was required to attend all the lessons he was to attend in that one-week's time. During the daily lessons, I have participated in both science and arts subjects. The most important feature I remember about the lessons is how the teachers lead students to become an independent learner. For instance, students were assigned in groups to research and design posters about Asean countries' culture in English classes, and I joined one group to help present the their findings. Even as an outsider who haven't seen the whole process of their research, I could feel how their individual thinking ability and communication skills were benefited. Besides, I have joined some after-school activities. One interesting but practical one among them was an out-door surviving lesson, in which we were taught how to set fire and cook food for ourselves. I have also learned about making plane models and cooking Malay food. By learning all these various lessons, I have found out the secondary school education in Singapore could truly promote almost every aspect of a student.
Having the delightful exchange 5 years ago in a secondary school, I am now even more exited about this Junior college exchange. The one I am going to is River Valley High school, an IP school with excellent performance in both academic and activities. It was set up in 1956, aiming to uphold virtues and contribute to society, guiding others in the quest for knowledge and wisdom through personal growth. The school has outstanding academic achievements: it produces may outstanding graduates with high A level scores and wins plenty of nation prizes in each subjects. Its CCA performance is also great, sports like badminton and Wushu are its strengths. Therefore, I would like to go inside the real school life and discover why it could produce all these graduates with full package. I am also very curious about how RVHS students could successfully manage their time and do great jobs in school work and CCA. This experience would very possibly answer most of my doubts about Singapore education, enrich my language and technical skills, and inspires me about arranging time to balance study and CCA.
I am now ending my excitement with one sentence that I keep telling my self: Just enjoy.
