My last post was October 3rd. Sorry for the delay! The Internet is extremely slow here and there is a charge based on data used. For example, a 2 hour service is $10.00 and you only get 36mb. We certainly are spoiled in America.
Politics -- The Australians do not seem to be as interested in politics as Americans. They did follow our presidential debate and are amazed at how much vigor we put into it. In Australia you are required by law to vote beginning at age 18. If you fail to vote you are fined $200.00. They simply do not understand why we are not required by law to vote if we are so passionate about it. -- Just an interesting tidbit.
The other school visit was to a brand new 6 million library -- Hale School. This is an all boys Independent (private) school. The grounds was sprawling and the library was totally amazing. The learning classroom spaces surrounded the library book spaces. It also hosted a large computer lab for students to work. This is a 1:1 school for grades 6 - 12.
