International students blogs




My first international blog that I came upon was Sunshine Coast Grammar School,located in Queensland, Australia. It is a Christian based, but multi-denominational school that has grade levels pre-k thru twelve. Something of interest is that they have six international "sister" schools located in Japan, Italy, China, France and Canada, so there is a lot of cultural diversity. They offer a variety of sport activities like, soccer, softball and football. In addition they offer various language courses as well as music and choral programs. They offer classes through the Internet as well. Many students board at the school for the year. Take a look:

I also found a blog belonging to a class of ten and eleven year olds out of New Zealand. They each have a blog that describes who they are and something about their family. In their blogs they talk about what they did at school that day. One student talk about something she was knitting and others talked about field trips they took. One girl named Claire was telling everyone about the characters or little figurines they were making and hers was of a reporter interviewing someone. Greg was talking about the bad weather they have been having with wind blowing everyone around and people sliding off the road. He says he has been without power for two days. Some of the entries are very interesting so, check them out at:here Here is a picture of Claire.
