Hello, I am Assia, and I am going to tell you some facts about the culture of Reunion Island, and especially about the different religions.

Personally, I am a believer, a Muslim. Here, there are many religions and the island bears its name well: "Réunion" means meeting. Here we have a meeting and cohabitation between all believers of all faiths and non-believers. That's what's really great. Everyone is free to have their own religion, and the island is much more open than in France.
In the same town, there are churches, mosques, Chinese and Hindu temples. People are very open, respectful and tolerant, and everything is done in a spirit of sharing. Sometimes in the evening, there is a Tamil religious procession in the street, the Chinese celebrate Chinese New Year with firecrackers, the Muslims gather together for Eid, and there is also the Holi festival celebration.

In a way, this is what makes Reunion Island so beautiful.

Hello, my name is Assia, and I'll be happy to tell you about one of my hobbies: sports.
I've always liked sports, and at St-Charles, we have the opportunity to do a lot of sports.
First, we have a class called physical education and sports. It's two hours of sports per week, and we change sports every five weeks or so. This course allows us to be physically active, and especially to understand the importance of sport for our physical and mental health. We practice a wide variety of sports, such as running, handball, dance, climbing, volleyball, relay, circus, ping-pong, wrestling...

In addition, I'm enrolled in the sport climbing option at school. Every week, I have three hours of sport in addition, during which I practice climbing, and also another sport, such as volleyball or ping-pong for example. This class allows us to raise our sports level and to practice sports intensively.

Finally, there is also the sports association (AS) of the school. Indeed, each student of Saint-Charles can register and choose the sport he wants to practice. There is climbing (in which I am also registered), volleyball, wrestling, raid or dance. There are several competitions organized between the AS of different high schools on the island and in France. During these competitions, the students acquire a real sporting level, and also develop fair play, team spirit, respect and endurance, but also the ability to become an approved judge.

I play a lot of sport and I like it very much. I know it's important for my health and my body, and it helps me to deal with stress and anxiety, or just to decompress from classes. It's essential to take care of your body. I hope you enjoy my testimony !

My name is Assia, and I'd like to talk to you about the big assessments in our school system (or at least for me, as I'm in general high school).

The first real assessment we have to take is at the end of the third year of secondary school. This assessment, the "brevet des Collège", is a global assessment of all our schooling: there are written tests for French, history-geography, maths, science and an oral test in French.
In all, you need to have a minimum of 400 points out of 800 to obtain the national diploma of the brevet. (and with honours for the best who have more points).

Then there is the French baccalaureate, which is taken at the end of Première, at the lycée. The test takes place in two ways: a written test and an oral test. The written test lasts four hours and is based on a literature topic studied in class. The oral test lasts 20 minutes, during which you have to study a text and then present a work studied in class. It is quite stressful, and the French teachers have been preparing us for it since the second year of secondary school, and there are also mock orals organized (which do not count for the baccalaureate).

Finally, there is the general baccalaureate, at the end of the Terminal at the lycée. It validates all our abilities acquired during high school. Once again, there is an oral test and a written test. The written exams concern this time our speciality courses. The oral, also called the Grand Oral, is on a subject chosen and prepared by the student. Often during the year, the teachers encourage us to make presentations in class to practise our oral skills. Obtaining the baccalaureate is an important moment, it allows us to validate our studies in high school and to have access to good higher education schools. It is a very stressful time and the teachers are a real support for the students.

Then, of course, there are other tests concerning higher education, but I can't tell you about them properly.

I hope I have enlightened you on some points of our school system !

In Reunion, there is a great ethnic and religious diversity. Indeed, the inhabitants of the island come from all over the world and the population is exceptionally mixed.

Each community has a specific name:

the word "cafre" refers to the descendants of populations of African origin (especially from the east) or Malagasy, in particular descendants of slaves or contracted workers

the word "zoreil" refers to the inhabitants of the island of European origin

the word "yab" refers to the "small white people from the heights", who are nevertheless of mixed European populations and of rather poor social status compared to the "big white people", the rich landowners.

the word "Chinese" refers to populations from China, for example from Canton

the word "zarab" refers to Muslim populations (mostly) from Southeast and West Indies, especially from the Gujarat region, but also from Pakistan

the word "malbar" refers to Hindu populations from India, especially Tamil Nadu

25% of Reunion's population has European origins (France and other countries). There are also a large variety of religions, some practicing Hinduism (7%), Islam (2%, mostly Sunnis), Judaism, Protestantism, Christianity (85% Catholics). The Chinese community worships Guan Di.

->Just about the languages !

We mainly speak French because it’s the official language (administration, education, press…) but about 90% of the population speak Reunion Creole, a mix between French and other vernacular languages. It differs from the other creoles in the West Indies, even though they’re quite similar. Most Reunionese are bilingual French / Creole, but part of the population speaks only Creole.

Moreover,  even though the island has been gradually decreolized because of the expansion of French, creole is becoming more and more recognized, you can even take the option to learn this language at school.

Because there are other ethnic groups on the island, other languages ​​are present such as Cantonese, Gujarati, Arabic, Tamil, Malagasy, Mahoran and Comorian.

Historical and geographical backgrounds

Reunion Island is part of the Mascarene archipelago, it is located in the Indian Ocean, near Madagascar. It is a volcanic island with a surface of 2512 km, indeed, it was born from the activity of a hot spot (the volcano). We live on the (very small) emerged part of this hot spot. The main town is Saint Denis. There is an airport, but also a port which allows us to connect to the outside world. The island is divided: there is a windward coast (east) and a leeward coast (west) with two very different climates since the windward coast is very exposed to the trade winds for example and the leeward coast is rather protected thanks to the mountain ranges.

In Reunion Island, as you will have understood, the rather uneven terrain makes that the population lives mainly on the coast. The interior of the island is composed of many exceptional natural sites: the three cirques, Mafate, Cilaos and Salazie, are the highlight of the show. They are in fact ancient magma chambers collapsed from an ancient volcano that is no longer active, the Piton des Neiges. However, we still have an active volcano, the Piton de la Fournaise, which is among the most active volcanoes in the world.

To fully enjoy these wonders, it is good to know that the cirque of Mafate is only accessible by foot, there are no roads for cars. The hikes in the three cirques are breathtaking. If you have the opportunity, it would be ideal to go hiking for several days in the cirques and to sleep in lodgings, or to climb to the top of the Piton des Neiges. For Salazie, you should go and admire the village of Hell Bourg, which is one of the most beautiful villages in France. You can also try to go to the volcano, go down in the enclosure and walk to the crater.

Let's not forget that Reunion is an island, which means that there are absolutely breathtaking beaches, both black and white sand. If you like surfing, it is possible, if you prefer paddleboarding, diving, kayaking, it is also possible. Be careful! You can't swim everywhere, there are places where the coral reef no longer exists, so there is no more lagoon, and therefore risks of shark attacks (even if it is not very frequent). The most beautiful beach is, in my opinion, the one of l'Hermitage in Saint Gilles, because it allows to observe all the diversity of marine ecosystems.

We also have a large part of our territory that is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is a national park, which allows us to preserve biodiversity.

We also have many other activities in the natural environment, paragliding, zip lines...

Now, for the historical context. Reunion Island has passed through the hands of many European countries (or not). It is supposed that it was first discovered by the Arabs, centuries before the Portuguese, who were the first to settle there around the 16th century. It was then conquered by the English and then by the French. It became a French colony and turned mainly to the production of coffee under the regime of slavery. Later on, coffee production was stopped in favor of sugar cane production, which still persists on the island.Our history is intimately linked to that of slavery, place names are given in homage to slaves, terms are created such as the term "marrons" which designates runaway slaves. Slavery was abolished in 1848, on December 20, which became a holiday!

In 1946, at the end of the Second World War, the island obtained the status of overseas department, then European region in the 90s. But there are still many differences between France and Reunion Island, in terms of economy, education, social...

Here are some ideas of visits in Reunion Island : first of all, the playful and emblematic gardens such as the park of the Mascareignes in St Leu, with very pleasant strolls in a lot of different vegetal universes, the garden of Eden or the garden of perfumes and spices which allows to discover what grows in Reunion Island in terms of aromatic herbs, condiments, spices that can be bought even on the spot. There is also the salt museum, where you can see how salt is harvested in Reunion, with real salt marshes or exhibitions for example. You can also buy salt there. There is also the only tea plantation in France, the labyrinth "en champ thé". You can buy tea, geranium... and get lost in the labyrinth built in tea trees.

In terms of museums, there is the Villèle museum, the former house of a slave family with an emblematic character, Madame Debayssins. As other fragments of history, we count the Stella Matutina museum, routes to discover the architecture of Creole houses over time. For philatelic enthusiasts (stamp collectors), you can go to the Taaf headquarters (French Southern and Antarctic Lands) to discover unique stamps but also learn more about these isolated islands.

To end on a high note, you can take a tour of the island's many waterfalls.

As for you, what should we absolutely visit in India?

Food and Traditions in France, particularly in Reunion island

Food and Traditions in France, particularly in Reunion island

# data[].attributes.body
In France, we use the Gregorian calendar, with the saint(s) associated with each day of the year and the associated Christian holidays (Easter, Christmas, and so on). We also have other holidays related to the history of our country: the commemorations of the armistices of the two world wars, the national day...

In Reunion Island, we are a very multicultural and cosmopolitan island, therefore we have holidays that come from all over the world : the Chinese New Year, the fire walk... It is this very special heritage that contributes to making our island a special place, that makes our identity mixed and that brings people together, hence our name.

Beyond the celebrations, there is a whole reunionese universe, traditions. To give you an example of local customs, the island's population often organizes cockfights. On certain days of the week, big markets are organized. One can find local vegetables and fruits, grown by those who sell them, but also spices, live animals, potted plants, handicrafts such as dresses, paintings and a multitude of small items.

Moreover, we also have traditional dances: the sega, the maloya, the moring, which are intimately linked to the history of the island (notably the period of slavery) and which must not be forgotten. Moreover, the maloya has been listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site more or less a decade ago. It is an intangible asset of the island. But as you will discover in other columns of this padlet, it is not the only thing that is inscribed in this register.

Just like the traditions, the cuisine transmits a new facet of the diversity in Reunion. One example is the reunionese picnic, which is held with the family every Sunday and is still very popular among the population. There are many characteristic dishes, named for example "rougail", "cari", "civet" or "pain bouchons"... A traditional meal is for example: a dish of rice with meat (with a sauce) and what we call "grains".

We can conclude by saying that traditions are very important for the reunionese and are in principle always respected. Don't forget that in France, meals are very different ! The basic food in Reunion Island is rice, while the basic food in France is bread.

What about India?

-Comparison of different school systems- 

# data[].attributes.body
Hi! I'm Cassilde and I'm gonna try to present you the French school system (or a little recap about it).

Firstly, about the uniforms. We do not necessarily have uniforms, it depends on the school. Sometimes they are color coded, other times printed logos, or even complete uniforms.

Secondly, as far as languages are concerned, we are fluent in French, which is our mother tongue. In elementary school, we begin the basics of English, and in middle school we study it more thoroughly, several hours a week. We also choose a second language to study. At Saint Charles, we have the choice between German, Spanish and Chinese. In addition, we can take a Latin option, which is a language even if it is considered "dead". In high school, we can also choose to study a third language, in our case Chinese.
In our island, we have also our own language, named "créole", adapted from french and other languages.
At Saint Charles, classes start at 7:25 am and end at 4:40 pm. We often have eight hours of classes per day and one hour for lunch.

Now, let's talk about holidays ! We start the year around August 14, our first vacation is in October (we have two weeks). Then, at the end of December, we have more or less a month of vacation, until the end of January. Then the next vacation is in March, again two weeks, then in May (just 10 days), and the last vacation is the vacation that includes July and August, which separates one school year from the other.

The French school system becomes more complex as the years go by. First, very simply, there is the nursery school, from 3 to 5 years old (I think), followed by the elementary school, which lasts 5 years. Then, we go to secondary school, which lasts 4 years and at the end of these 4 years we take a first exam, the brevet. After high school, we go to the lycée, which lasts 3 years, and which is closed by the baccalaureate that we take with different tests during the last two years. Once the baccalaureate is obtained, one can eventually start what is called higher education (another very complex system that I will not explain here), or enter the working world, which few people do. What I am describing here is a so-called classical pathway, but you can also go through other paths, the technological pathway and the professional pathway. Moreover, you can start working as soon as you are 16 years old since you are no longer obliged to go to school. One important thing I forgot to mention is that if you can't keep up with your classes, you can repeat your year.

I hope you've learnt interesting things :) And you, how is your school system?

Hello, my name is Noa Anzoully, I'm 16 and I'm a normal teen in high school with nothing special. I was born in France but I have also Malagasy and Indian origins on my father's side who's born here, in Reunion Island. I have a younger sister, who's studying at Saint-Charles too, and a elder half-sister who has a child, a little girl. I actually live in Saint-Pierre.
My favourite sport is rugby, I've been playing it for now almost 12 years. To my mind it's a sport with a lot of values like courage, determination, humility, and respect. I also love basketball and football.
I recently disovered a new passion for streatwear and more specialy for sneakers. I would like to collect them, but I'm too poor. So, I work in order to enter in Saint - Cyr and then earn a lot of money. But shoes, and others materialistic acquisition are not my only motivations. I want to be able to share money to people in need. Until now, I had very goods marks at school. However, I can't say that I have ever worked hard for it, I've always taken advantage of my ease, and recently It's catching up to me. My notes go down in subjects that almost doesn't matter to me.
I would like to travel in a lot of countries, but my dream destination are Japan, Canada, and USA. All of these are developped countries. I want to discover a lot of African and South American landscapes and civilization.
To conclude, we can say that I'm an ambitious and sportive guy, not too bad at school, who has always had a glad existence.

Hi, my name is Prévil Mathilde, I'm 16 years old and I am a student at Saint Charles high school in the south of Reunion Island. I was born here and I'm proud of my island, I don't really plan to go and live elsewhere, my whole life is here. I have very good friends who are very studious and encourage me for the future. I only have one brother who is older than me and he also studies at Saint Charles. I don't do any particular sport outside school, but I like reading, writing, drawing, cooking and listening to music. I love going out with my friends and family to watch sunsets or go to the beach while eating and listening to music!
My specialities for this year are: science and life of the earth; Philosophy and HGGSP (History geography / geopolitics / Political Science)

Later on I would like to be an interior designer and for that after the BAC of Saint Charles, I would go to another high school to specialize in the field and then go to a school in France to get a degree.

Hey !

My name's Karen Abrillet and I'm a 16-year-old student in St Charles highschool in Reunion Island - which is my native land - Besides, I'm in 11th grade and have chosen at the same time three specialties, such as : LLCE (Language, Literature and Foreign Civilization), HGGSP (History Geography Geopolitics and Political Science) and HLP (Humanity Literature and Philosophy). In fact, my favorite subject is English but I like it more in my specialty.

Now, I'm going to introduce you to my personal life. To begin with, at home we're only 3, that's to say my mom, my little sister who's 13 years old and me. But most of the time, there's also my 24-year-old big sister who comes too. Moreover, outside of school I've varied  hobbies : I pretty much like to listen to music or spend hours painting but mostly practicing my favorite sport - which is pole dance- Thanks to both of them, they help to relax and I’m like in my bubble.

Just as importantly so as to finish this paragraph about myself, I would like to add the fact that later, I think of working as a teacher abroad. Yet, I reckon like many other people I'm not sure about my future job since I can change my mind at any time.

I'm undoubtedly glad and thankful to get involved in this project, surely like some of us, given that it seems to be really worthwhile and advantageous. In other words, a kind of opportunity to meet new people, for instance discover new horizons.

Thanks for reading !

As far as my interests are concerned, I like rollercoasters, movies (not so much series except Game of Thrones of course), music, painting and especially new experiences!

thank you for reading this far ;)

Hi everyone, my name is Gersende.

I'm a student at the Saint Charles high school and I'm the fourth child in a family of eight. I arrived in Reunion nearly two years ago but I am originally from Metropolitan France.

I move every two years or so, so my adventure in Réunion will soon be over.

I don't regret coming to this island at all. It is beautiful and its inhabitants are very welcoming!

For example: although I was very shy, when I started my second year at the Saint Charles high school, I quickly made some very good friendships that I sincerely hope to keep after I leave.

From an academic point of view, this school has also helped me a lot. There are really good teachers who, when you need them, take care of you and always push you to improve. I really wish I had stayed for my final year!

I have two passions: horse riding and archery! But I also like to do all kinds of sports really.

I also have a preference, from a climatic point of view, for cold, snow, fog and wind. And that's it!

Thank you for giving me some of your time! -” )

Hello !

My name is Manon and I am a French student.

I live in the southern part of reunion island with my family.

Reunion Island is a tropical island in the Indian Ocean, more precisely next to Madagascar (near Africa).

My parents are divorced, however I live with my brother Theo who is a year older than me.

On our island we have many assets. The geography of our territory is stupendous! We can see both  the Ocean and mountains at the same time.

Moreover, we have “pitons” (large mountains) and “cirques” certified by UNESCO world heritage.

In the first trimester with my class, we studied a chapter entitled “Mother India” and we learned some facts about your country. Now, I know that we have similarities and differences (as languages, money…)

For example, about school. Unlike your education system, we have “specialities” (if we won’t do a “general class'').

I am in a “general class”, I study communs subjects like languages (French, English and Spanish), history, geography, sciences, and more…

On the other hand, I choose mathematics, “SVT” (it is natural sciences) and HGGSP (it’s history, geography, geopolitics and politics sciences).

In addition, I have three extra hours in my timetable due to my sports option, which is rock climbing.

At school, I don’t have any responsibilities, that it’s to say, I won't be in a club or in an association.

About St-Charles, some people said that it is not a big school and I share their point of view. Nevertheless, there is a church which separates the establishment into two parts and that is the reason why sometimes we must walk to go to a class. Despite that, I like my high school.

Outside of school, I have diverse hobbies. For a great part of time, I do sports. I have  a fitness center membership and another one at a rock climbing club. In fact, rock climbing is my favorite sport.

Other than sports, I like motorcycles and spending time with people who I like.

To finish, later, I intend to work in the medical field, because I have always been interested in this field, but I'm not sure what job I would like as of right now.

I study at Lasalle Saint Charles high school, where I feel good and where I have friends and good teachers. My favorite subjects are history, geography and literature.

Hello, my name is Elwenn Galiot, i'm 16 years old and I study at St-Charles High School. It is a rather school with different study possibilities. But there are a lot of options missing in St-Charles.

I am an only child, and I live alternately with my father, Cédric, and my mother, Patricia.

I am a very shy and very unsociable girl.
When people know me better, I know how to listen, kind and funny.
I'm also the girl who has trouble focusing in class, and often in her thoughts.
And then I often heard that I was weird. It's true I'm different, I don't necessarily like the same things as the girls of my age but I'm just myself.
In addition , i have several passions: music, drawing, video editing, writing.
I used to do ballet before, but now I'm into sports.
I don't really know what to do later, I would like to work in video games but also with animals, which is totally different.

Now, I think you know me a little bit !

I live with my parents and my little sister of 12 years old. We fight each other a lot but sometimes we managed to spend time together without fighting ! The rest of my family live in France so I can barely see them but we use social media to stay in touch.

I will say that I'm pretty friendly and funny, but I can be very stubborn when I decided something it's hard for me to change my mind. Later I want to study medicine and maybe become a pediatrician ! I love spend time with my friends and my family and watching series. My favorite sport is boxe even if I love soccer too.

I always lived in Reunion Island and I really like my Island. We have a tropical climate and beautiful landscapes. However, even if I adore live here, I want to go study abroad because I think that it is really important to discover other country with different culture.

Hi everyone,
my name is Cassilde Teyssières Parson, I'm 14 years old and I live in St Pierre, in Réunion Island, a little island next to Africa. I study at St Charles' high school, in 1e1.
To describe me a little much, I am small, I have blond curly hair and light brown eyes (their color is changing).

I have a little brother named Lorédan but everyone calls him Lolo. My parents are Béatrice and Thomas, they are teachers. I also have a dog, more precisely a golden retriever, her name is Orphée and I find her so cute! As for the rest of my family, I don't see them so much, they live in France, far away...

I really like to go to school, but I also do sports (I'm in the sports section of the high school, moreover, I practise raid on Wednesdays, and I also do some other sports). I love reading new books and discover some old and forgotten writers. I play the piano but I prefer singing! Travelling and discovering new places all around the world are part of my passions. I try also to take care about ecology since our planet is slowly dying, I'm a convinced feminist and I support LGBTQIA+ cause. I really believe in humans and I try everyday to learn new things, get new skills, or have new answers and opinions about all the questions I'm wondering about.

I don't really know what job I want to do later, but since 2 or 3 years I think I will choose to be a soldier in the French army.

Most of people find me special or judge me because I'm different. When I think about it, it's true, I'm really different from them, but I don't care about it anymore. Indeed, I do not think like others, I don't do the same things. Furthermore, I like to feel  free and fearless and I need to take time for myself even if I love them so much. They are like my family, and I love spending time with them, growing together and sharing my life with them!

I am really grateful to take part in this wonderful project, since it seems to be a nice opportunity to discover people from other places in the world, their lives, their cultures and their stories, and to forgot all stereotypical ideas that we can have, as Europeans, about India. It would surely be a great idea to share with you so as to broaden our horizons.

And you, who are you?

Greetings, my name is Mathys Gerbith and I am a 16 years-old French highschooler. I live in Reunion Island and I attend the Lasalle Saint Charles high school. I have a 26 years-old sister who’s working as a clerk. As for my parents, they both work at EDF, the main electricity supplier for France: my father works as a technician and my mother is an office worker. My favorite activities are learning about electronics, making model vehicles and reading books.

In French high schools, students have to choose three specialties: I took “Mathematics”, “Economic and Social Studies”, as well as “History, Geography, Geopolitics & Political Science”, since my goal is to become an “expert-comptable” which can be roughly translated to a certified accountant. Additionally, I am aiming to get into the financial market and the cryptocurrency market, as I am confident in my abilities to take good investments. My ultimate goal would be to have a steady income without wasting my time doing a job I don’t like, therefore becoming a truly free man.

Hi! I am Indrany MOREL, I’m 16-year-old, french girl and I live in Reunion Island.

My birthday is November 16.

I have brown hair, brown eyes and I am not that tall.

I am shy with people I don't know, but I tend to be funny, attentive and more relaxed with my friends!

What about my hobbies ?

I like reading, music, travelling and learning English.  And I have been doing horse riding since I was 3!

What do you need to know about my family?

Well, my parents got divorced when I was 10. I have 3 sisters, they’re names are Lindsay (the oldest), Naomy (who is younger than me) and Melly (the youngest). And I also have a brother Matthias who is older than me.

You can guess that I don’t get bored with them !
Actually I love being with them, sharing stories and just having some time with them!

I’m studying at La Salle Saint Charles high school! In the future I would like to work in the medical field  but I am not going to bore you by telling you why I chose this field or something like this.

I would like to travel around the world too, so maybe I can combine both of my dreams ? Who does know ?

Perhaps, some day I would visit India (and I would love to do it actually !)

I think that you know me a little bit now, so thank you for reading !

I wish you a good day! :)

Hello my name is yoann and I am 16 years old. Born in metropolitan France, I arrived in Reunion when I was 5 years old and I currently live on Reunion Island.

I am a student of the saint charles high school, and I am oriented towards scientific specialties. I'm in first 1 and I consider myself rather lazy.

I have several hobbits in life which are mainly: sports; I practice volleyball, and rock climbing. There is also music and photography, two activities that occupy most of my days.

I have several projects for the future. But for the moment what worries me the most will be to become stronger as well as improve myself in most of the areas mentioned above.

This is what I am

Hi!! My name is Anna Payet and I’m 16 years old. I was born in Reunion island more precisely in the town of Tampon. I have one sister named Emma she’s 19 years old and she is an medical student. My parents are Michel who is my father and Miguy my mother. They are very kind and open minded parents so i can speak with them on every subject that make me interesting so i think this is a chance.  In my little life I’m a big fan of sciences and above all the quantum world. I’m very curious about that and i think that everybody should accord two quick minutes just for listen to some of those mechanics. I’m sure they will be impressed and chocked about it. One day a very famous scientific says “if you’re note impressed about quantic  physic, you have not understood it” and he was right because when i start to learn this i was confuse and i wasn’t trusting what my eyes were reading.

Hello, I’m Anne-Cecile and I’m a student from St Charles high school in reunion island. I’m sixteen and I’m in eleventh grade. I live in Saint Louis, a small town located at the south of our island. I don’t have any siblings and my parents are divorced. I’m Reunionese and Chinese.

I’m an artistic person due to the fact that I love drawing and I can’t have a day without drawing something. In addition, I play piano and love anime and manga.

My school is a big school with more than a thousand students who study a lot of different subjects according to their faculty. I’m in general faculty, consequently I study French, English, Spanish, science, history and geography and in addition I have three specialties that I have to learn, mathematics, politics and geopolitics and science (chemistry and physics). I also have an option which is art.

In my opinion the best thing about reunion island and St Charles is the mixing and the diversity of people here.

I love to learn New things, particularly about history or about the things around me. So, I will be happy to learn new things about Indian culture.

Hello everyone,
My name is Shaez Goulamaly, I've 16 years ols and presently I'm a student in the Saint-Charles high school in Saint-Pierre on Reunion Island. This high school is really special because it is located near the Indian Ocean and therefore offers us a view of it when we are in class.
Then let's talk about my family. I have 2 little sisters aged 5 and 12 who live with me as well as an older brother aged 22 and an older sister aged 25 who live in Nantes.
Let's talk about me now. I was born in Madagascar on August 21, 2005. My parents left me there for one year for administrative reasons. Then they got me back the next year and brought me to live in Paris for 14 years. It's thus only recently that I live on the Reunion Island in Saint-Louis, that since January 9, 2021.
Now let's talk about my passions and what I like. Since I  was a little kid I love cars as well as motorsport. I like video games like soccer games or racing games like formula 1 which is my favorite sport. In this sport, drivers have to give 200% and that's what I like. Among them, my favorite driver is none other than Max Verstappen. He's young, he's fast and he won the world championship at 24 years old against seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, what more can I say?
I like animals like cats and turtles, and I have 3 cats who names are: Shivani, Shamallow and Milka.
And finally, let's talk about my goals.

The first time I was asked what I wanted to do, I didn't know how to answer because I wanted to do so many things. It wasn't until I was 11 years old that I knew what I wanted to do when I grew up, and I still do. The job I would like to do in the future is a little bit special because I would like to work as a mechanic or engineer in a formula 1 team.

I thank you for taking the time to write this text about a part of my life.

Hi! I'm ocean SERY, i'm 16 years old , and i'm a Junior Year student in Saint Charles high school.
So, first of all i will talk about my prints about school in general, sa as far as i'm concerned, i try to do my best in high school, even if working is verre tirried, i think that everyone can do it only if you want it! I don't really like school, because all i want is to finish high school and to do something that i really want to do and lear, (and i will be honest school is for me a little bit boring).
Secondly, i will talk about my self (what i love, friends, family...), so, i'm just a girl without an incredible story, i have one big brother and two little brothers named Alexandre, Lucas and Noah. I live in Saint Pierre with my big brother and my father, i also have two little babies, wich are my dog and my cat, named Hooper and Roxane and i love them soooooo much :) I'm honest because i hate to beat around the bush, i am crazy about the color black! And funny fact about me i'm gothic but i can't wear black clothes like i would like to (because my father says that i look like i go to funeral every day and for him the color black is sad). Me and my father we have the same point of view, and we are verry close. I'm nice with people when they are nice with me (it's obvious), and i'm a little bit shy... I love drawing and playing the saxophone (i've been play it since i was 11 years old) .
Thirdly, physically, i have curly hair cut a bit like a tomboy, i have brown eyes, i have small freckles, and after i don't know how to define myself. And i think this is all about me...
And fourthly, i wanted to be at Saint Charles because, this is not like the others school, people are nice, with good education and if you have any porblems, you can talk about it without being judged or criticized and we will help you to solve it. Saint Charles is for me another universe, because we can say that we are a big family  because people are so close each other, my big brother went to Saint Charles and he still has good contacts with his friends, and today he is 19 years old. So Saint Charles is a nice choice for education, learning, making friends in a good environment.
Thank you for giving me attention!

Hi! I’m Léa

I’m 16 years old and I live in Saint-Louis in Reunion Island which is in the Indian Ocean. Actually, I’m a student in Saint Charles high school that is located in Saint Pierre in Reunion Island.

About my family, I have a sister who is older than me (28 years old) and who has  2 children. I also have a brother who is younger than me (13 years old) and I live with my mother and my brother. My family and I, are originally from Reunion Island and I’m extremely proud of that. As for my father, he is originally from Mauritius, an island with many beautiful landscapes. Unfortunately I don't know much about it because I don't go there often even though I have family there.

Something else to know about me, I love my island : the beautiful landscapes that it offers us like beaches, mountains but also volcanoes (which, by the way, are called le Piton de la Fournaise et le Piton des Neiges) and many other things. There are also the traditions, the different origins, the food but also and above all, its history. And all this, shows us the beauty of the Reunion Island.

Now, let’s talk about school.. I study at Saint-Charles which is a private school quite reputable and known on the island. The school prepares us quite well for the rest of our studies, which means that sometimes it’s quite complicated and even more this year because of the exams but I’m doing my best.

Later on, I don’t really know what to do but I'm thinking of studying either psychology or law or even history.

Well.. what else can I say about myself ?

I don't really have many hobbies but I like listening to music, watching series and anime. I spend all my free time playing video games with my friends and going out with them and as soon as I can, I go skating.

And finally, I also like to learn new things, discover new places and especially spend time with my friends and family.

Thank you for reading all of this :)

I have a 20-year-old elder sister named Emilie. I no longer do extracurricular activities. I enjoy travelling, visiting new places and spending time with my family. I also like animals, nature, eating and watching movies… My qualities are that I like to enjoy life but I am very undecided. I’m having trouble making choices.

Hello, my name is Julien, I am 16 years old.

I was born in reunion island in the city of tampon where I currently live with my parents and my brother.

I study at the high school of Saint Charles and I'm currently in 1ere. Mypassions a combat sports, especially boxing and mma, but I just love sports , whether it's soccer, basketball or tennis, because the emotions that can make you feel the sport are just insane . And I am particularly fan of the values of the sport because these values are on one hand very important for our daily life because the respect or the values of the hard work is very important notably in the studies or your professions .

the Niagara falls ,and the Laurentides

And after my studies in hight school , i want to studies in law school or in business school , because the justice and the business are two things very very passionate for me . If i studies in law school in the future , I want to became a lawyer  because since i was a child i want to advocate against injustices in this world , because everyday some persons are victim of discrimination and sometimes its same person are not heard and not helped .

now lets talk about my family : my family is really cool but i don’t really got to see them often because my mother and my father work hard everyday and by that way we have not much times for sees my family . And my brother undertakes studies in nursing school to become a nurse .

And personally in the future i want to travel in Canada because Canada is linked with its continental climate that is to say very hot in summer : it can be 40 degrees and in winter temperatures can reach minus 40 degrees . Going to Canada in winter can be a great experience : the lakes are frozen .Canadians are equipped with big vans . They park the vans on the lake and they go fishing . It is easy to fish in winter like eskimos , you make a hole in the ice and you pick out the fish which is quickly frozen . Lakes are very fishy. And i want to see Niagara falls ,and the Laurentides .

Hello,
My name is Lalyas Grondin, I come from Reunion Island and have been living there for 17 years (all my life). I'm currently a student at the high school  Saint Charles in the south of the island. I am a very involved student in my work at school and very studious. I am also a perfectionist student, it is perhaps one of my biggest fault. I am also very passionate about astrology and have been since I was 11 years old. I spend many hours learning about it, I am really passionate about it. I also adore to spend time with the people who matter to me, my family and friends. In life I would describe myself as a very kind person.

Hello, my name is Camille and I‘m 17 year’s old. I was born in Reunion Island and lived there all my life. I have one brother and one sister, both older than me such as my sister as already had two children. I am a pet’s lover, so I have one dog and a cat but it wouldn’t bother me to have more animals.

I am actually a junior doing my first year in my new high school called Lasalle Saint Charles in the city of Saint Pierre. It was a big change for me since I didn’t know anyone and I needed to wake myself a lot more early for school to take the bus because Saint Charles is not near my place. But I adapted myself and I made new friends. I would say that Saint Charles is a great high school, the teachers push you to work harder and be more disciplined and it prepare yourself for your future career, job… For me, my goal is to be a future airline pilot ! To reach it I need to perfection my English and work hard but I know in the end of it, it would be the accomplishment of my dream !

Hey guys, I'm Pierre, a Reunion Island's student. And according to what you must have thought, i'll present myself. So, I'm currently in charge of nothing special in my highschool like being a class representative or an ecology representative ( people in our highschool can be ecology representative in order to promote ecology and act in this way inside the highschool ). I do not either take part in any kind of club of things like that. I'm more like a normal one which goes to school 5 days a week, meet with his friends, have fun, study and then repeat and repeat again. As far as i'am concerned, that is my view about my schoollife. But then, if I drastically talk about me, i think that i can add a few things. Indeed, I'm 16years old and have 3 brothers and sisters with an handsome and kindhearted cat and I'm actually a lot into sports like all sports. My favorites one would be, I guess, beach-tennis, running, hiking and  climbing.

Hello, my name is Vassor Chloé. First of all, I am a teenager from Reunion Island. I was born on November 11, 2005 on this beautiful island: La reunion. I live in Etang Salé with my little brother Mathis who is 12 years old and my parents. My brother and I are studying at the Salle Saint Charles, me at the high school and him at the college. La salle saint charles is a private school that has a good reputation and a very high success rate. Then what to say more about me? I am a 16 years old girl who is 1m65, with hair and black eyes. I have a very changeable character depending on the person who is in front of me. Quite reserved and closed at first but much more open with time. In the future I plan to be a notary or at least a lawyer but why not also in psychology... I am not yet very sure of my choices. Finally, I don't have many passions apart from reading. I could spend entire days reading, hence my rather reserved side, I lock myself in my bubble when I open a book. Nevertheless I am very close to my friends and even more to my family to whom I visit very often, more precisely to my maternal grandparents to whom I eat 3 times a week.

Thank you for your attention! You know me now a little bit more!

Hi people, my name is Eliott, I’m an awesome 16 years old French guy and I’m 1m91 (people think that’s tall). My birthday is the 15th of february so make sure to wish me a happy birthday on that date (I’m waiting for it). I live in Saint-Pierre, Reunion Island specifically in a place named Ravine des Cafres. I study in Saint Charles and I’m currently in the class named 1ère4. I spend most of my free time watching videos on youtube or playing video games (that’s quite sad if you ask me but anyway). I love history, science, humour (dark humour is the best type of humour)  and pickles. My goal in life is to not be poor (I don’t really have a goal, I just want to have a fun life). So this is it, that’s me.

Howdy you !
My name's Clément, Clément Fontaine. I'm a sixteen high school student, born on the 29th september of 2005 in Reunion Island, who enjoy his life at the maximun.
I really love my family, which is composed of my father, mother, little brother, and of course, my little sister. But I also love the many animals that share my home everyday, like my cats, especially the one named Kaguya, my tortoises, my chickens and also my koi carp.
Now let's talk about school. I'm actually studying in La Salle Saint-Charles highschool, located in Saint-Pierre, the city where i currently live. This school is quite nice, however quite hard at the same time, especially this year as we have a lot of important exams that are comming up. But its not all bad as I can see my friends everyday there, and this alone, is a very cool thing.
And to finish, i would like to talk about my hobbies and personnal tastes. I like hiking and discovering new landscapes i have nevre seen before. Also, I am a lot into manga, as i have quite a few at my home, and anime too. I also adore reading horror novels, or horror books in general. I absolutly love animated films, moreover, my favorite movie is Princess Mononoke, a movie that marked me for the rest of my life. Adding to that, I often play a variety of video games, like Zelda : Breath of The Wild, the Pokemon's series, or even League of Legends sometimes. Playing video games is really one of my favorite things to do.

Thank you a lot for taking your time to read this text !

Hello my name is Jade Behlow-Phylos. I know it’s really long because it’s a mix between a french, african,and german name. I’m sixteen and I actually live in Reunion Island with my parents and my little sister. My mother and my father give me the opportunity to travel because of their works : she is a dance teacher and he trained football player. Thanks to them I have discovered new counties. Let me resume… I was born in Bordeaux near my family, at my fourth birthday I have moved in Reunion Island for seven years. When I was eleven my father have found a good work in Morocco. It was very hard for me to say good bye to my friends but my four years in this beautiful country was the most incredible moments that I have lived event if I didn’t know that yet. Now I study in la salle Saint Charles and I meet new people. I think it’s because of all my moving that i love travelling, meet new person with other culture, other ways of thinking, other landscapes, other languages… I like the new!

My mother gave me the passion for dance… wherever I am, I dance classic, contemporary. In addition, I like a lot of sports, laugh, fruits, beaches and sun.

Hi, I'm Malia, I'm a teenage girl and I'm 16 years old. I was born on the 19th October 2005 and I live and have always lived in Reunion Island. I live with my parents and my big brother. When I was born we were still living in a flat, then 3 years later we built a house in which we still live. I am of average height, with brown eyes and curly hair.
One of the reasons I chose to study at La Salle Saint-Charles high school is because I want to do long and hard studies in the future and I found that it prepared us well for that. If I describe myself I would say that I'm a really kind person, a little bit shy and I do my best to make people happy around me. I like a lot of things like travelling, watching good movies, fashion and above all music. I love to sing ( but mainly for myself ), I'm also a fan of many singers and I'm very glad to say that I will see one of them in a few months for real.

Hi !!
My name is Floée. I'm a 16 years old teenager, I was born on the 23rd of October 2005. I’m from Reunion Island, a small island in the Indian Ocean.

I have three sisters: Malia and Oriane who are 23 years old (they are twins) and Emie who is 6 years old. I am in the middle of the siblings. With my family we live in Saint Joseph.

In appearance I have brown hair and eyes and I am of average height.
Of character, I am generous and persevering according to the people around me. I am a girl who loves sports activities and thrills which coincides with my passion, I practice gymnastics since the age of 5 and I never tire of it.

I study at Saint Charles high school in Reunion. I'm happy to be in this school because it has allowed me to meet my friends but also because it offers me a good learning for the future.
As far as my studies are concerned, I am not very literary, I prefer sciences and that is why for my specialties, I have chosen mathematics, S.V.T, and physics – chemistry.

Later I would like to become a sports physiotherapist.

Thank you for taking your time to get to know me ;) !!

Hi, I'm Maxime and I'm 16 years old. I come from Reunion Island where I am currently studying in the high school la salle Saint-Charles in Saint-Pierre . Indeed I am in 1ere general category and I chose to take as specialties: Physics-Chemistry, Economic and Social Sciences then Mathematics. I feel good in my school and I manage to follow the rhythm which is not easy either. Outside of school I live in Rivière Saint-Louis and I have been playing basketball for 5 years now. I love this sport, when I play, for me it is a moment of escape where I can forget all the problems of my life for example, it makes me feel free.

You will have understood that I love basketball but sports in general too, that's why I chose to work later in a sports profession, but I don't know yet which one precisely.

I also like to play video games with my friends, to go out with them and to spend time with my family. In my family we are five, I have an older sister of 20 years and a little brother of 8 years. My family and I are originally from Reunion Island which leads me to say that in life I also love my island, the traditions, the food especially, the diversity of origins, the beautiful landscapes and so on .All this makes the beauty and the pride of my island.One more thing to know about me is that I love adventure, I love to travel, discover new horizons…

Thank you for reading. Now I'm sure you know me better.

Hi there ! My name is Clémence Suzanne and I was born on the 20th of November. I'm a sixteen years old student who studies at Saint Charles and lives in Saint Pierre.I have three sisters who live abroad and currently live at my mom's place and sometimes go to my dad's. What's most remarkable about me is the fact that I'm pretty tall. I also have brown eyes and short brown hair.Other than that I'm really into reading and drawing and I love cats! When it comes to school, I think Saint Charles is a pretty great place to study. I get along well with a lot of people there and most teachers tend to have a pedagogical approach so it's really great to be there.

Hi, I’m ETHEVE Mathilde, I’m 16 years old and I’m a student in St Charles. I live in Petite-Ile in Reunion Island and I have no brothers or sisters and I live with my mother. I also have three cats: two females named Blackie and Lune and a male named Izumi.

I only know the family on my mother’s side, my father doesn’t talk too much with his family.

I’m really passionate about anime and manga and my collection will reach 200 manga soon.

I also love to read and spend all my free time reading but I also play video games.

Concerning school, the courses are quite fast-paced but the atmosphere is not so horrible even if the fact that the establishment is separated in two is rather constraining.

Good afternoon, here is my logo.

Hello ! I am Charlotte Pouliquen, a 16 years old student in the St-Charles high school of St-Pierre in La Réunion, a french island.
Firstly, let me introduce you my many hobbies that define a very considerable part of myself. So, as far as I am concerned, I am fond of arts, as music ( I play piano and I sing in a music school ), drawing and painting. I also love reading and watching movies and series- like many teenagers I guess- and I am kind of a nature lover, alwayas ready for a little walk (although, I must admit it, I am not exactly a fan of sports !).
Secondly, I am going to "tell" you about my family and the island ! Actually there is an important part of my family that lives in France- on the continent- and yet I live on this lovely island with both of my parents and my 2 sisters. My parents are doctors, as a consequence, we are not doing many family activities since they are always very busy, but the vacation time always allows us to go together to one of the many beaches of the island to enjoy swimming in the blue lagoons ! And, when we are feeling really motivated, it also allows us to go hiking and to observ our actually active volcano called "le Piton de la Fournaise" and its wonderful lava eruptions !
Thirdly, let's finally speak about my school ! As the weather is often good, Saint-Charles do not own an actual building  but many separated ones. Therefore, there also aren't true huge corridors, thus, we often have to walk outside to travel from a room to another-which can be problematic when it's raining !
In our high school, we have- of course- different classes with whom we have the "basic" lessons as french, geography, history or sciences, but also other lessons in groups from different classes. They are litteraly called "specialties" here since we are given the opportunity to choose what lessons we want to take part in. I, personally, chose philosophy, english litterature and maths but there are also other options as biology or economic science.
Although our school is catholic, every students here have different religions since, here in La Réunion, which can be litteraly translated by "the meeting", people come from many various horizons and, to my mind, that is the most beautiful and important fact about our island !

Thank you for taking the time to read all of this !

Hello !
I’m  Shendira. I'm 16 years old and I study at  St Charles High school.
I live in St Pierre on Reunion Island. It's a pleasure to live here, surrounded by the sea and the mountains which are always accompanied by the sun.
At home, we are 4:my mother, my father, my little sister and me.
For me, family is very important. In my family, we have the same interests, the same hobbies. It’s really cool.Thanks to them, my days are always synonymous of good mood
My high school is full of surprises but it is an important place because it prepares us for the adult life we will soon discover.It is also a place of friendship because we are all in the same situation

As far as my character is concerned, I'm a funny person and I'm very attentive to the people around me.My friends know that they can count on me.

What I like to do is sports, after school I like to go running or to my training.
Otherwise I am interested in everything: music, dance, cooking and many other things. Every day I like to discover new things. :) :)

Hi! I’l called Rivière Théo! I’m a sixteen years old reunion guy who comes from a little village called Entre-Deux. I lived in this village all my life until now and I go to Saint Charles because there wasn't a high school in Entre-Deux and my father was here before me. It has a reputation as one of the best high schools on the island. I live with my parents and I'm an only child. I have a dog called Noisette and a cat named cafrine and they are really lovely, especially at this time in my life as a student that is very stressful. I’m a very shy person and I try to pass through this but it’s extremely difficult. My friends say that I’m a nice guy and I hope it is true. I have some hobbies like going to the gym with my mother, singing (not with a teacher but on my own) and listening to a lot of music. Before they discovered that I have asthma I was scuba diving and it was really fun under the beautiful waters around Reunion island. I have done a lot of different sports in my life but I was alone and now I go to the gym with my mom and it’s a really good moment to share with her. I read some books too and I discovered in the December holidays the cycle of dune which is really great sci-fi books.   I will not stay on this island for my future study and I think it will be in Montpellier in the south of France. It will likely be economic study in order to become a financial director. I think I had a good beginning of life and was born in a good place.
