After lunch, we got a tour of their school. This was so great because I had a lot of preconceptions about American schools from the movies I have watched. They even had a bank in their school which I thought was pretty cool!
After the tour, we got to hear the school's chorus which was kind of like a really, really big Glee club. They were so good! We got asked a lot of questions about Northern Ireland like how much it costs to get our driving licenses and what the conflict is like at the minute.
It was the school's anti-drug day which they call the Red Ribbon day. We joined them in making a ribbon formation on their football pitches all dressed in red. They had a plane fly overhead while a firetruck's ladder took our picture as well.
I loved the few hours we spent at Spaulding, it really showed Catholics and Protestants can get along and it changed my views on American High Schools.
