本月的「美國大學博覽會」共邀請了 17 所來自全美各地的高等學府，涵蓋五大主要區域：紐約地區、南部各州、五大湖地區、德州與中西部地區，以及西岸各州。本次活動採攤位諮詢形式，提供學生與大學招生代表面對面互動的機會，讓學生能直接掌握各校特色與最新的申請資訊。

為了增進學生的地理觀念，現場特別製作並展示了一幅全美地圖，標示出這 17 所大學的所在位置與所屬區域。此外，攤位安排也依據地理區域進行規劃，將同區域的大學集中排列。這種視覺地圖與區域化佈局的結合，不僅幫助學生清晰地理解大學的地理分佈，也協助他們在與代表交流時，更能分辨不同地區的文化特色。

本次活動更與學科老師緊密合作，引導學生有目的地走訪五大區域中至少一所的大學。透過這種引導式探索，不僅增加了活動的結構性，更顯著提升了學生的參與度與學習成效。

This month’s U.S. College Fair featured 17 universities from across the United States, across five major US regions: New York area, Southern states, Great Lakes states, Texas and the midwestern states, and West Coast states. The event was organized in a booth format, providing students with opportunities for on-site consultation and interaction, allowing them to engage directly with university representatives and gain a better understanding of each institution’s characteristics and application information.

A U.S. map was specially created for the event to indicate the locations of all 17 universities and their respective regions, and was displayed on-site. In addition, booth arrangements were organized by region, grouping universities accordingly. This combination of visual mapping and regional layout not only helped students more clearly understand the geographical distribution of the universities, but also in aiding them in differentiating the regional cultures while interacting with representatives.

The event was also carried out in collaboration with subject teachers, who guided students to visit at least one university from each U.S. region. This approach encouraged more structured exploration and enhanced both participation and learning outcomes.

The IPDCC recently held specialized Visa Application Workshops for our seniors as they prepare to move overseas. To make the process as simple as possible, we organized the workshops into two separate groups: one for the United States and Canada, and another for the United Kingdom. By splitting the sessions this way, we ensured that students only received the information that applied to their specific destination. This helped prevent confusion and made sure each student could focus entirely on the correct rules for their future home.

During these sessions, students learned about the specific steps for their student visas, the necessary documents to collect, and important deadlines to watch for. We walked them through the U.S. F-1 visa, the Canadian Study Permit, and the U.K. Student Visa processes. Our goal was to take the "guesswork" out of these complex applications so that our students can transition to their new universities smoothly and without delays.

In addition to the paperwork, the workshops also covered practical tips for living abroad. We discussed how to set up a bank account, register for healthcare, find transportation, and even what to pack. All presentation materials have been shared with our G12 students so they can refer back to them throughout the summer. We are proud to support our seniors as they take these final, exciting steps toward their international education.
