Travel &Tours at St Ursula's College Toowoomba

Tuesday saw great excitement as the girls experienced their first flakes of snow. A group excitedly ran outside (minus jackets) to experience some snow falling. This caused quite the scene as many of the students and teachers ran to windows to see what the commotion was all about. Teachers had to explain to the other students that the 'Australians' had never seen snow before. Despite many pictures being taken, there is not much evidence of the flakes, and we were informed that the 'snow' was really a flurry! We are sure that many of the girls have their fingers crossed for more snow!

The girls have eagerly participated in many lessons over the last couple of days. Many of the teachers have commented on how much they are enjoying having the girls in their class, and are appreciative of their contributions to class discussion. Girls have enthusiastically participated in English and Religion lessons offering their insights into the subject matter. In English girls have been discussing the text, The Cruicable,and in Religion they have enjoyed comparing our practices with regard to Sacraments.

 

On Thursday we visited the College  of New Rochelle. It was interesting to see the Ursuline philosophy so deeply entrenched in a university. Girls enjoyed a presentation about the College and a tour of the facilities. 

 

Every morning the teachers are met with great enthusiasm from all the girls. They are truly making the most of this experience.
