School Visits in Albury
The group had the experience today of visiting two local schools. We began in the morning with a visit of Burrumbuttock Public School. This is a local K-6 elementary school that specializes in environmental education. They have a campus that is made up of several buildings, including a K-3 school and a 4-6 school. There are only two teachers that I saw, with only 38 children. It is a very small school that is doing very neat things. In fact, local schools come to this campus to see the great outdoor education opportunities that it offers. After the elementary school visit we saw a local private Catholic high school named Xavier. They also have a large campus with many buildings. It was fun to drop in on cooking, shop, computer, PE, and other specialty classes. The first picture below is of the elementary school visit and the second shows the library of Xavier High School.

Hi!
do the schools do any thing that is diffrent from us?
Emma: God question, but I don't have the space to write it all here! I'd be glad to talk to you more about it when I return. Just a couple of things are that their buildings are barely heated, so it is quite cold in the classrooms. Also, the buildings are often in campus format, not just one large building. Finally, they call their math, maths. They use the plural form maths, which sounds funny until you get used to it.
