MmOn Monday 9th Mum and I went to the opening of St Margaret's College in Mums attempt to find me a high school. As you can probably to tell I wasn't to keen about going to St Margaret's,but I went anyway.
We got there half an hour earlier so we went into the on school cafe(maybe this wasn't so bad after all) and looked at their uniform. I thought the uniform looked quite good because it wasn't a set uniform,but they had a formal uniform as well.
Once we got out of the cafe and walked in the gates we were meet by some friendly children from the junior school and they directed us to the senior school. I was given a bag with the information about the school. Then we meet our tour guide,her name was Abigail and she was very nice.
We started of in one of the newest buildings. She showed us the dance flours which were massive and the speech and drama rooms. I found this very interesting because I didn't know that St Margaret's had all these great facilities. Next she showed us the science rooms. Something I noticed about the rooms is how they were modern and new,but they weren't big modern learning classes. I meet one of the general science teachers Mr Atkins,which happened to be Miss Hannas(my teacher) science teacher when she was at high school!
Next we went and saw the technology rooms which had all the gadgets,but were a good size. I loved looking at what the students had made because it was all so creative and you could tell that they put a lot of effort into it. From there Abigail showed us the gym,the basketball courts,the pool and the outdoor netball,tennis and hockey courts.
She briefly showed us the art and music rooms,because we had to go and see the principle talk. I found it really interesting. The head girl spoke really well for the size she was(I mean I was taller than her and that's something).
Afterwards we went to the boarding school and I was impressed with the facilities. They had different houses for different year groups. After all this we went and got a hot chocolate from the cafe. I really want to go,but it costs to much!!!!!
It's always very interesting going and visiting new schools, especially private schools. St Margarets certainly has a lot to offer. I wish you luck with your application.
