☆Culture link
First week of Senior High School
First week of high school varies greatly from culture to culture. For instance, it’s a custom in South Korea and Japan to welcome new students with a school entrance ceremony, emphasising students’ duties and responsibilities. Some skilled painters in Japn draw welcome pictures on the blackboard. In the US, most high school offer a training course before school actually starts. New students learn their way around the building and meet some of their teachers and fellow students.
