SUNWAY UNIVERSITY STUDY TRIP BY HONSBRIDGE
Last Friday on June 2nd 2017, Honsbridge went on
a study trip to the Sunway University at Bandar Sunway. Honnets from Year 10
and Year 11 are brought along with the teachers to the University. Their
mission: To explore a new world beyond the school; to seek out what’s life like
in a university; and to boldly peek into their future ahead.
Around 60 students left in two separate buses at about 8am.
When they arrived at Sunway U, they were greeted by the student council of the
University. The Honnets then proceed to the auditorium to learn more about
Sunway University, the courses it will offer and the educational pathway the
university will provide for them.
Sunway University provides programs for entry into higher
education in Australia, Canada, US and UK. Honnets who’ve studied in
Cambridge-based education and succeeded in IGCSE exams at Honsbridge have the
advantage if they choose to further their studies at Sunway University.
Soon, the Honnets attended the Business Workshop. Concepts
and applications used in business were taught to the Honnets. They get to
relate to business by playing games similar to Monopoly and other
business-related activities. Through these activities, the Honnets learn to
trade, buy and sell within the markets. Concepts they’ve learned includes
cashflow, accounting, demand & supply within economics, marketing and
management.
After that, there’s a prize giving to winners of the games.
The Honnets then had a group photo at the foyer of Sunway University.
At the end of the study trip, Honsbridge greets farewell to
Sunway University. We gift the university with a hamper as a token of
appreciation for sponsoring the venue for the Honsbridge International 8th
Speech Day 2017 at the Jeffrey Cheah Auditorium. In return, Sunway University
gave the Honnets lunch packs and drinks for the return journey.
We finally boarded the bus and
depart at 12:00pm back to Honsbridge.
So what have the Honnets learned from the Sunway University
trip?
The Honnets learned and experienced a day in a life as
university students. It is in our hope that should the Honnets choose Sunway
University as their next step, they would bring with them their experience and
pride from Honsbridge.
