There's a Canadian school in HK?

Priya · 07-04-2011, 01:08 PM

Ahhh, well Happy Canada Day!! Hope you have a good one

!!!!

ell, not to act sill, but what is 4th July?

Dingbat · 07-04-2011, 08:01 PM

It's sorta the US equivalent of Canada Day only instead of commemorating the US's birth, it commemorates the adoption of the 'Declaration of Independence' a document declaring independence from Great Britain.

Is there like a Britain Day, or a Day celebrating Britain's birth?

Priya · 07-05-2011, 04:03 AM

Ahhh, I thought so but I didn't want to say incase I got it wrong

!

No, I had to google it to make sure but no, not as of yet. Maybe it's because we have St Georges and St Patrick's, etc, to celebrate the 4 countries in Britain as well as the Queen's birthday (dunno about that personally) but no actual day of celebrating being British

Dingbat · 07-05-2011, 08:10 AM

Do you not have Victoria Day, a day celebrating Queen Victoria's birthday? Interesting. Why do we have it, and you don't? Canada and England pretty much have the same policies.

Haha, yup. It's called CDNIS - Canadian International School (of HK)... Apparently there's a school called CDNIS in Canada too, but I don't really know.

This is odd, how come you celebrate Queen Vic's birthday but we don't? We don't celebrate it to my knowledge, we do have a bank holiday because of the Royal Wedding though, as it was a special occasion and stuff, but we don't really have anything to celebrate Britain, but would you want to? We have so much anyways

But what's the point of having a Canadian school there? Are they different?

Priya, that is interesting, isn't it. Huh. Fascinating.

Priya · 07-06-2011, 03:22 PM

Well American schools are different to British schools so I assume Canadian schools have their own differences in curriculum or something?

Dingbat · 07-06-2011, 06:05 PM

Learn something new everyday.

Priya · 07-07-2011, 08:05 AM

Well today is a new day, time for a a new fact

!

I watched Arthur and Something Borrowed today, my day off has so far not been eventful since it's been raining like hell here

We have all kinds of schools here... American, Canadian, British, German, French

I think it's really just to group expats with their own kind, but there always slight curriculum differences.

We did a IB Diploma and the OSSD which is done in Ontario I believe?

Alrighty then.

Oh, I wanted to see Something Borrowed. How was it?

Forelsket · 07-07-2011, 09:19 AM

Yeah, HK is weird with the number of International schools they have

Only just saw this

I love Gen.1 too

Have you seen Gen.3? I think they're better than Gen.2

Priya · 07-07-2011, 02:47 PM

I've not seem much of gen 3, but so far I prefer gen 2 (well I say this but I only really loved Cook/Effy in gen 2) but I haven't seen it all properly so I feel undecided! But tbf, nothing beats gen 1

It was alright, I was rooting for cheating which was unusual, but I liked it to be fair.
