【推荐1】Joining in one of the overseas volunteer programs is a fantastic idea for high school students during vacations. Here are some popular programs.

Student exchange programs can be an excellent way for high school students to travel on a budget and promote cross-cultural understanding. These programs range in length from a couple of weeks to a full year of classes in a foreign high school. Fees vary by program, but students are often responsible for expenses like airfare and food.

Another great option is World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms(WWOOF). If you are interested in working on a farm, you can do that with WWOOF in exchange for free room and board. Opportunities are available in over 500 countries, and the time commitment is up to you to decide. Each country has its own set of rules regarding minimum age, but WWOOF in German, Portugal, UK, and Italy accept those under the age of 18.

While the idea of virtual volunteering might not sound quite as exciting as jetting off to new destinations, the reality is that volunteering from your own home can be advantageous. Not only do you not have to worry about buying a plane ticket or paying for expensive housing, but you can also do a part-time job while still getting an immersive(沉浸式的)international experience. Students can work on any number of projects, from English language education to community development.

Specifically offering volunteer programs for high school students, GVI(Global Vision International)encourages students between the ages of 15 and 17 to explore the greater world. With programs about cultural immersion, wildlife conservation and community development, high school students can learn to become a global citizen. GVI programs are available in 11 countries and last one to two weeks.

9:00 a. m. to 10:00 a. m. (no later) you should visit the foyer of the Old Chapel building to receive your new student information kit. Once you have your kit, you are not required until 10:30 a. m.,so you can relax in the Student Centre until you are called over the PA system.

Students who are yet to pay the enrollment

Go directly to the Admissions Centre and be prepared to pay your enrollment fee ( $ 150 cash only) to the New Admissions Officer. You will be asked for your address and your preadmission student number (the number on your green enrollment acceptance advice slip). Note that this is NOT the number which is later displayed on your student card. Once you have paid your enrollment fee, follow the instructions above for students who have pre-paid their fee.
