Final Day at Ursuline Academy
The USA Tour girls gathered this morning for their last day of classes at Ursuline Academy.
The first class on Friday was an Arabic lesson. UA girls were doing a presentation of their family members in Arabic. We were then given Arabic Mint Tea and pastries as a welcome. Following this the girls were given lessons on Belly Dancing. Ursie joined in the celebrations also!
At the end of the lesson the girls were all presented with their name in Arabic (even Ursie! - see middle photo). Chloe's name in Arabic was shaped like a heart!
The girls also shared a drama class with UA girls which they really enjoyed.
After lunch the girls attended a Screen Printing class with Mr Thompson. The girls participated in the production of the t-shirts and each have one to take home.
The finale of the week was the St Ursula's College presentation to Ursuline Academy. UA live streamed the event and we have recorded it to share. The Presentation will be shared at a later date.

Today was a very fun and educational, yet sad day as it was our last day at the Ursuline Academy of Dallas. Beginning with a fun and interesting Arabic class, we drank mint tea and nibbled on baklava while we learned to belly dance. Afterwards, we visited a stage costuming class and played theatre sports with the Dallas girls which was really fun! For lunch we went to the cafeteria and had a Ursuline specialty - Mac and Mash! It was delicious! After lunch we went to a lesson on screen printing and made our own t-shirts. The school day ended with what was a very successful presentation of Toowoomba to our host families and friends. As this will probably be our last chance, we would like to extend a massive thank you to all the wonderful people at the Ursuline Academy of Dallas who have spoilt us so much this past week at school and on excursions! This has been one of the best experiences of our lives, so thank you!
