Hannah's reflection on Day 2

"Today we had to be in school at 7am, which is 90 minutes earlier than in the UK.  We had a tour of the school and got to meet all the Heads of Departments.  We also go to have a chat with the Headteacher and also the school counsellor.

Near the end of the day we meet with members of Loyola's student government.  We prepared questions to ask them and they answered with confidence.  The Loyola students asked us questions about St Paul's.  They were particularly interested in the fact that we have four seasons, (Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn), whereas they only have two seasons:  Dry and Wet.

Overall we learnt a lot about Loyola High and the Tanzanian education system: the school day; routines; lessons; roles and responsibilities.

We all had a great day and got to meet so many new and kind characters around the school.  Everyone was open, welcoming, and helped us to feel very much at home.
