Grade 6 classes from both campuses spent a morning at Lakeside, to see firsthand what life will be like as a Grade 7 student like next year. They were divided into groups and enjoyed a full morning of team activities that included everything from solving a mysterious murder to performing science experiments. They had the chance to explore the Lakeside secondary school and some of the Middle Years Programme (MYP) subjects and activities. They also had the chance to ask questions about life in secondary school and hear directly from some current grade 7 students about their secondary experiences.

Reflecting on their visit, these are some of the things that came to mind for TK students:

They were surprised by…

• The number of students at Lakeside.

• The size of the canteen, the size of the library - and well, the size of the whole school!

They are excited about…

• Travelling to 8 different classes each day.

• Meeting new people and “re-meeting” friends who used to be at TK.

They still wonder about…

• Hanging out with the Lakeside students.

• Finding their way around a new campus.

But the absolutely best things they said about visiting Lakeside?

• The teachers are sooooooo nice! Everyone is so very nice!

• The food is amazing! They even have Subway food!
