Hi UNRWA Girls School,
We're from Maria Fidelis, a Catholic school (that used to be an all girls school) located in North Gower Street, Camden, London.
We are four girls and one boy, ages 12-14 (some of the people have changed from last year): Jessica (writing this), Holly, Saffron, Mia and Philip. Phillip isn't here because he's part of our Gospel Choir and there's a trip to Westminster Cathedral for them, the mother Church of the Catholic Church in Victoria.
Our school is split into two buildings. We're in the lower school, which is year 7 to year 10 (but the year 10 pupils cross over to the other building, which is the upper school). The upper school (year 10 to year 13) is right next to Euston station, the sixth busiest railway station in the UK.
When I was in year 7 (2 years ago) the school used to be an all girls school, but they changed it so that now boys can attend as well D: Luckily, the boys aren't in my year, but they are in years 7 and 8. Soon there will be boys in all the years. Year 10 started coming this year in September because the upper school is getting knocked down and rebuilt. It's already cramped down here and by the time the building is done, we'll already be gone!
Our years are divided into classes but we call them form groups. In year 7 and year 8 there are 5 classes (7A, 7C, 7F, 7L and 7W. For year 8 just replace 7 with 8. We don't know what the letters stand for) and the other year groups only have 4 classes. In year 7 and 8 they have form tutors, which are teachers that talk to you about any problems you might have.
We study the core subjects (English, Maths and Science), humanities (History, Geography and Religious Education), technology (Food Tech, Design Technology, Textiles), Modern Foreign Languages (French, Spanish, German) and non-core subjects (Art and Design, Music, Drama, Computer Science, ICT, Dance, Physical Education, Latin).
We also have taster sessions for our GCSEs: Sociology, Media Studies, Health and Social care. I took a computer club about a device called a Raspberry Pi, which we used to write programs and find mutations in DNA for Cancer Research UK. In April there's a project called the Interfaith Project where different schools of different religions join together, build a robot and program it that I'm joining.
Now here are our questions for you!
