2 new students made by Pénélope et Laurine They come from a High School.

They explain why it was difficult and why they decided to change and to leanr in a Vocational High school.

Here are their comments which are similar.

Last year I was in a high school, Marie-Curie in Versailles.

Last year, my timetable was very tiring and, I did 8h25-17h30 every day, it’s a high level. It’s why I go to BTEC national.

This year I am in BTEC national in customer relationship.

The name of this school is Saint Vincent de Paul in Versailles.

When I was in High School, I never had time for me, because everytime I had to do my homework for 3hours/day and when I finished school at 17h30, I was going to sleep late.

And I had a problem to learn.

I think, the BTEC national is better for me, because we have two work placements each year. It’s very interesting because we work with professionals.

Similaries and Differencies

Between France and Spain

Amazing ! We have more holidays than the Spanish students

We have longer school days. In Spain, they finish earlier 2 or 3 pm.

As we are in a Vocational High school, subjects are differents but we have more subjects to study in France.

Amazing ! Our hobbies are more or less the same: listening to

music, going out with friends.

Spanish students seem to practice sports more regularly than we do. It is maybe because they finish at 3 pm whereas we finish at 4.30 or 5.30 pm.

And the most important : There is more SUN in Spain than in France. Lucky you.
