Tao Yang, an Appleby College student (Chinese by birth now living in Canada), arrived at BDS on Monday, October 23rd. Her host, Belén Vásquez, will be traveling to Canada to fulfill her portion of the exchange experience this coming January.
BDS students who will be going abroad on an exchange this coming January/February met with previous exchange students to talk about responsibilities, expectations, worries, and all other things these experiences involve. It was a positive, enriching encounter for all!
Próximo Round Square Junior Conference
Ya abrimos la convocatoria a postulaciones para la Conferencia Regional Junior, que tendrá lugar en el Colegio Los Nogales, de Bogotá, Colombia, en torno al tema "Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges".
Presentamos la oportunidad a los grupos de P6 en el marco de un Assembly y luego posteamos la convocatoria en Schoology: "The RSJRC is a unique opportunity to create awareness of the importance of unity and peace in societies and nations that have experienced complex conflicts. Those who attend will explore some Colombian landscapes, learn about Colombian culture, enjoy a picnic in the school’s nature reserve Zasqua, have meaningful service experiences, and interact with Colombian and international students. They will also have opportunities to explore and reflect on themes such as peace building, forgiveness within a society in conflict, the importance of tolerance and respect, and building relationships through interactive and engaging activities".
