Cultural Exchange
Each year the ALTs have an hour long cultural exchange with the students. The 2012 cultural exchange lesson was organized by Neil.
| ALT | Activity |
|---|---|
| Todd Horner | Magic Show |
| Allanah Faherty | Stick Dance |
| Katherine Blancha | International Pokemon Exchange |
| Stephanie Hupp | Paper Football |
| Gavin Fisher | First Nations Presentation |
| Charlsie Nagano | Lei Making |
| Russel Kabir | Singing |
| Jeffrey Lowther | Ring Toss |
| Liam Mitchell | Koruru (Maori Knuckle Bones Game) |
| Stephanie Sanders | Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwhiches |
| Neil Fanning | Quiz Game and Food |
The students were broken up into 11 groups (due to an ALT being out of town), with three groups of 4 and the rest groups of 2. Interaction with the students began with the ALT briefly introducing him/herself (name, age, country). The students then had to place a purikura picture (of the ALT) onto a map they were provided. ALTs had 4 minutes to perform their cultural activity. At the end of 4 minutes, a whistle was blown, and the students had one minute to move to the next station.
