At Bridgwater College, you can tell you are at a college. The variety of programs, the student common areas, the library, the computer access - all the same.
But, there are many, many differences. Quite a few of the programs I have been studying have told me that our programs are run more like those of the Uni. (University). It's almost overwhelming to think that CBC has University level programs. Go us!
The Vice Principle, Mike Robbins was able to show us how the educational systems in both countries aligned. Here at Bridgwater, they have students as young as 14 attending from the local high school. There are also adult learners here.
However, one of the main ways our schools differ is in the fact that there are many opportunities to volunteer at the school. It's amazing to me that the students are so willing to volunteer their time to show pride in the school which they attend. They are not required to volunteer, it's not a graduation requirement, they do it because they do have pride in their school.
I've spent most of the day with staff members who are in charge of these volunteer programs. Those schools are doing wonderful things for their community and school. I'm simply amazed.
