Welcome to Ursuline !

Panda Bear and Teddy Bear Sisters symbolize the special relationship that we have with Huaxia

 

Today was an awesome day at Ursuline as we officially celebrated the arrival of the Huaxia Delegation from Beijing. Early in the morning, the Huaxia teachers made a wonderful presentation to our faculty regarding the Chinese educational system and also the history of the status of women in China. Later in the morning, three wonderful UA Ambassadors, Natalia, Phyllis and Katie, gave the group an extensive tour of Ursuline.

 

 

The highlight of the day was the welcome ceremony where the students introduced themselves and where our Mandarin IV class gave a presentation about the Autumn Moon festival. Of course, after telling us all about the celebrations in China, we all enjoyed some moon cakes together. 

 

How happy we are to be together on this, the 22nd exchange between our two schools!!
