Our last day at Beitou Elementary School

After an eventful 3-day exchange at Beitou Elementary School, we have come to our last day at this school. Group C, comprises Nicia, Hannah, Zhi Feng, Shao Yee, Jun Jie, Brandon, Cheng Shuan and Sitong, will bring you our observations about the pupils and the feelings about our stay here.


We will first share some of our observations:

• The pupils in Beitou can keep any hairstyle they want and they do not need to join any CCA to keep long hair.
• The pupils can choose what they want to wear to school while Singapore pupils have to wear uniform to school. They can even wear costume jewellery to school.
  
• They can wear the type of shoes they like.
  
• They use number tag but not name tag.
  
• They can bring handphone to school.
  

Ms Phua and our teachers have quizzed us on the reasons behind what we observed and we have also asked our Beitou's friends and teachers for some of the answers. We understood that the school culture in Taiwan is different from Singapore and schools in Taiwan have different school rules from our schools too. It is indeed an eye-opening learning experience for us!

We felt very happy to be in Beitou Elementary School as our buddies were very kind to us. They introduced to us the different parts of their school, chatted with us and even gave us farewell gifts. What we find most memorable and significant about our stay in Beitou Elementary School is the learning about their lifestyle and culture.
