The Canadian Education Fair lasted for two days which was on a Tuesday and Wednesday. It was held on the 4th floor in the Rizqun Hotel. We went on the 7th February, which was on a Tuesday. There were about 50 of us excluding the teachers in-charge. We left the school around 1.45pm in a bus and reached our destination at around 2.15pm. When we reached Rizqun Hotel, we had to register ourselves to the people in-charge before we entered and was given a plastic bag with a pamphlet about Universities in Canada. There were also students from other colleges such as MD and Maktab Sains who attended the fair too.
president of newsletter club also joined the trip!
As we enter a room, we were told to sit down and listen to what the speaker had to say about Canada. He showed us a slide show presentation and after that, we were given questions to answer and each winner walks away with a prize. The prizes were caps and shirts with the Canada’s and Brunei’s logo on them. It looked nice and there were a lot of people who won those prizes. It started off quite interesting as we were told details about Canada, which some of us didn’t know about.
There were representatives from different provinces of Canada to represent each university. We could ask questions about any doubts we have or if we're simply curious about each university like what courses are available, how much are the fees and so on. Each student were given brochures/pamphlets about their respective university. Say you want to take the medicine course, well sadly only the University of Alberta has that course because for the rest of the universities, you’ll need to be a citizen there in order to study medicine but courses like accounting, business or even law are available there so if you want take courses which are not medicine-related, Canada will be a wise choice.
As we continue our little mini tour, there were refreshments in the center of the room so we could not get ourselves hungry. It was a great day in Rizqun and I think all of us have our doubts cleared about anything universities-related. We left for school at 3.45pm and reached school at 4.00pm. I enjoyed myself and I think all of us enjoyed our little tour too.
