2024年維也納聖心來訪

在聖心的校園中，與外國同學一同上課並參與各種活動，是大家習以為常的事。今年十月下旬，我們迎接了來自奧地利維也納的30位學生與2位老師，與我們一起進行文化交流活動。維也納聖心學校是我們十分友好的姊妹校，近三年來每年都會來訪。不過此次因康芮颱風的影響，園遊會延期一週，很遺憾原本計畫中維也納聖心於園遊會擺攤的活動未能如期進行。但慶幸的是，颱風過後，我們還是得以順利完成學校交流活動以及接待家庭體驗，讓雙方師生可以近距離互動，彼此了解。儘管臺灣與奧地利擁有截然不同的文化背景，身為聖心人的我們卻能在這樣的活動中感受到深厚的友誼與親切感。

此次學校交流活動安排聖心大使社Sacred Heart Ambassador的同學進行英語校園導覽，維也納同學驚嘆我們的校園占地廣大，景觀優美，他們也品嘗到了聖心特產─茶葉蛋。此外，也安排維也納同學參與高中部的多元選修課程，如生活美學、Ted Talks & TOEIC、貿易打造的世界史與餐桌上的地理學。課程中維也納同學參與了服裝秀、共同創作與拍攝短片、體驗與討論臺灣的特色飲食─珍珠奶茶與乖乖。

下午的社團時間，我們希望利用這個難得的機會學習維也納的特色課程。維也納的Maria老師帶領烹飪社的同學製作蘋果派，同時國三社會專題以及聖心大使社則是由維也納的連老師進行華爾滋舞蹈教學。

此次有30位國一到高二的同學擔任維也納同學的接待家庭，三天兩夜的接待，各個接待家庭的爸爸媽媽與同學們使出渾身解數帶領外國同學走訪景點與體驗美食，真的是最棒的臺灣代言人！同學們也於接待前的準備、接待期間的溝通互動及行程安排增長了責任心、外語溝通能力及靈機應變的能力。

維也納同學非常感謝接待家庭的熱情與溫暖，也深深覺得接待家庭體驗是此次臺灣教育旅行的的最棒回憶！

維也納同學A的回饋

I really enjoyed staying with my family. We went shopping a lot and I got lots of presents! We tried all the different foods like hot pot and dumplings. We also saw the baseball match team Taïwan vs Czechia, which was very fun, even though I don’t know anything about baseball! I am really thankful that I was given the opportunity to be here and spend the time with these generous people! 

維也納同學B的回饋

The family was so nice and received me friendly! On Friday we went out to eat dinner and watched a movie. The next to days were very exiting and I saw and tried a lot of new things! Thank you so much for having me and taking care of me! Hope to see you and your family again sometime! 

維也納同學C的回饋

At first I was a bit nervous, because I have never stayed in a host family, but it turned to be really fun. I really liked my host family. My host has a brother and we had a lot of fun. We went to a lot of different places and I felt really welcome. I’m sad that I could only stay for 2 nights. I think the stay in my host family was one of the best parts of the entire trip. I will miss them!
