During a week in May, some students from year nine expected visitors from France as they were participating in an exchange with a French school in Versailles. When the French students finally arrived I, along with a few other senior students, was given the job givng them a tour around the school while their exchange partners were in lessons. This was useful for CAS because I
had increased my awareness of my own strengths and areas for growth in French spoken expression and for presenting to large groups of people and had to work collaboratively with the visitors. I showed perseverance and commitment as I guided them through the whole school and accompanied them whenever their respective students had a lesson. I engaged
with issues of global importance and considered the ethical implications of my actions as they are visitors from another country and am meant to give a good impression and joyful experience and became an inquirer, knowledgeable, a communicator,
principled, open-minded and caring.
My aims were to give a good presentation of the school and answer any queries which the French visitors had whilst also making them feel very welcome and take advantage of he opportunity and practice my spoken french expression.
This was a challenge for me because it was difficult to communicate sometimes as the students were often distracted and occasionally I could not express certain things to them as I did not know the words in french and they could not speak english at all.
This is of SERVICE because I was giving a tour of the whole school to
the French exchange students so that they could see how the Academy life was like in England and have a good time.
