This was actually from me testing my PowerPoint program on my new computer. I turned it into one of those High School Introduction videos using the teen versions of my Gen 4 legacy sims.
2. Hello we are students at Rowan High School in Rowan Ward. Rowan Ward is
one of the many wards of Lena City. Lena City is the Capital City (and the
largest city) of Lenmana (equivalent cities are Tokyo, Japan and New York
City, New York). We dedicate this video to any potential students.
3. My name is Seneca Azure, third year student (to most others that means 12th
grade). The other two are my cousin Niagara and our mutual friend Ayleen
Simself.
4. I’m Niagara, also a third year student. I’m in our school uniform all Middle
School and High students wear them here on Lenmana. Each school has it’s
own distinct uniform for Rowan High School our colors are blue, green and
purple. We have two sports/gym uniforms all with the same color scheme. One
uniform is for cooler weather the other is for warmer.
5. Ayleen here! The third-third year student. Sorry for the weather but the forecast
calls for rain. I still think we should have done this another day but it’s due
tomorrow morning. We were procrastinating.
6. Anyways onto the tour. Through the school gates we go into the bike racks. On
Lenmana we try to be eco-friendly because of our history and culture. Even
though there have been technological advances we still have some of our
roots. Most Middle and High School students walk or ride their bikes to school
depending on where they live in comparison to the school. We do have trains
and buses students use as well. It is rare that students have their own cars.
(Considering Lenmanans can’t get their licenses until they are 18 anyway.)
8. Our School has these really cool pathways, although on the first floor its just a
bunch of arches from one end to another. The upper floors have a corridor
that has windows on all sides. (we will get to that one later). Not all schools
have these but our school is just that cool.
10. Its actually super common that students sit outside of the school on breaks and
sometimes lunch. Most students bring their own lunches to school and normally
we eat on our classrooms. But our school does have a lounge full of tables and
vending machines.
12. The very first place we go into in the school is the locker areas. We usually
switch out our outdoor shoes for our indoor ones on regular school days. All
students have the same type of light grey slipper. This is very common on
Lenmana, even at home we don’t wear our shoes inside our homes, we take
them off in an enterance way.
14. After we switch out our shoes we go into the main Hallway. This first floor has all
of the special classrooms: art room, shop, computer room, library, music room,
and also the nurse’s office the teacher’s room and the principal’s office are on
this floor. There is a small classroom too in case a student needs it.
15. This is the computer room, it’s actually right across from the entrance. The
computers are up to the latest technological updates.
19. This is the art room, we have easels and pottery wheels. Most of the time we
paint and draw. There are also tables and chairs but they are in storage at the
moment.
25. On the other side of the school is the place where the teachers stay when they
don’t have a class. In Lenmana, teachers move from room to room while the
students stay put, unless they need a special room. In that case the students
will go to the specific room.
27. There is another door that leads from the teacher’s room to the nurse’s office.
The nurse’s office also has a door to the hallway for easier access. The nurse’s
office also has its own private bathroom if a sick student really needs it.
28. There is a bell every morning that tells students when they are supposed to be
in their homerooms, which means the hallways are always crowded in the
morning.
30. The classrooms are set up with a lot of windows. Lena City is really hot and
humid in late spring and summer. That also means its super cold in the winter.
It’s mid spring right now so its mostly rainy. Typhoon season is about now, luckily
today is just light rain.
31. The school year starts in Early April in Lenmana. Because that’s when spring starts
(well in a way, technically spring starts March 21st, but that’s beyond the point.) We
are in school until mid-July then we have our summer break until September.
September to mid-December is the second term then winter break until January.
The third term is really short only going from January to March then the end of the
school year is around March 14 (usually the second Friday in March, which varies
depending on year). Any students who graduate will graduate the nearest
Saturday. Then we have break until April.
32. This is our homeroom or the room for class 3-C. The students are usually
separated between 3 homerooms to 6 homerooms depending on the size of
the school and how many students. Rowan High School is kind of big so we
have 5 homerooms per grade. Some schools number them by grade and
letter (1-A, 2-B, 3-C etc.) Other schools number them by
grade and number (1-4, 2-5, 3-6 etc.)
33. Many schools have this too. It’s an outer covered porch outside of the
classrooms. This goes with the way the school is set up but most students visit
their friends classrooms or hang out on these.
40. Welcome back, school just let out and everyone is just finished up cleaning.
Lenmanan schools don’t normally have janitors so the students clean them up
after classes are over. There are a couple schools that do have them, they
aren’t common though. This is supposed to teach responsibility and to work as
a team.
By the way this is the windowed corridor that was mentioned earlier.
41. It goes all the way through to the next building. Students often hang out here
too. It had stopped raining the last period before cleaning, it seems that there
will be more later though.
43. We are going to take the pathway instead to the other building. Afterschool
activities start soon after cleaning.
44. This is the vending machine/table area in the next building. The next building is
a bit different. You can wear regular shoes in the gym and the food areas but
if you go upstairs where the other classrooms are you have to switch them out
for the slippers.
48. There are some students in the Home Economics room working on their
cooking skills.
49. The Science Club usually works on Homework and creates experiments here.
There is actually more than one science lab in the school.
50. There are a few other classrooms in the second building, although the smaller
ones are more often used for storage.
51. As for us, we have swimming practice so we had to run to the changing room.
52. There are mostly girls in the swimming club. That poor lone boy, honestly
though he is a fantastic swimmer.
53.
54. Later, the students gathering in the gymnasium after club activities. Sometimes
we have things going on in here: school festivals, contests, plays and musicals
and other school activities. You don’t need to wear the slippers in the
gymnasium.
55. Today the Drama Club is rehearsing for their play, just a stage rehearsal, the
dress rehearsal isn’t for a couple weeks. Just the students only, but it was a lot
of fun to watch.
56. The gymnasium is used as a theatre, all of the seats are in storage. We also
have the first and last day of school speeches in here. Although in that case
students usually stand or sit in rows on the gym floor.
57. After a long day at school it’s time to head home.
58. I hope you enjoyed the video brochure of our school.
