A warm welcome
Have you ever wondered what it’s like starting a new school in a new country? Chiltern High School
has organised a special system to help students who are new to the school and who come from different
countries. They have a special ‘welcome system’ which is a team of students who work extra hard to
make sure that new students have an easy time when they arrive at the school. ‘Many new students can
have a hard time,’ says Becky Robson, the fifteen-year-old who has run the welcome system for two
years. ‘Starting a new school can be really difficult to deal with. Some students come from different
countries and they have to cope with learning a new language, too.’
So what does the welcome system do? Becky explains, ‘Well, when a new student starts at our school
we choose them a special ‘friend’ who can help them during the first few weeks. It can be very boring
and annoying if you don’t understand what is happening in your lessons. We have special computer
programmes which translate a lot of what the teacher says. That helps a lot. It’s amazing how quickly
the new students learn English – they do really well!’
The Welcome Team also learns about the new students’ countries. We teach our classmates words from
their language and we do special things for their national days – that kind of thing. Students feel much
better if their classmates know a little about their own culture.
Sometimes new students have other problems too. Moving to another country can be difficult and
sometimes they fall out with their family. We can help them by trying to talk to them and having a
laugh with them. We spend a lot of time with them. We love it because we find that we can learn a lot
from these students, too. I love working with the welcome system. You get to know so many people
that it’s never boring!’
