Text The Garment Vocational School

This is our school.The name of our school is “The Garment Vocational School”.Our school is mainly training the students for designing and making up all kinds of clothes.

Our school is not a large one.There are several departments in our school.There are about eight hundred students altogether including teachers,designers,staff members and students.This is the only one kind of school in our city,so it is very important and useful.The school is popular with the parents and students.

There are twenty classes in our school.We have lessons on art,design,computer program,clothing material and specialized knowledge;we also have Chinese,mathematics,English and CAD.Usually we have lessons in the morning and do some cutting,stitching and pressing in the afternoon.We often get information on the Internet.Sometimes it benefits us greatly.Our school places a high value on personality cultivation besides on education,so everyone in our school can choose what they are interested to learn.We believe the skills gained through studies in our school will certainly be in high demand in the future.

The students in our school study very hard.They keep all that the teachers taught in their minds.Our designs are exhibited in the show or fair every year.We also design dresses and fashions for shops.After graduation the students are going to garment factories,clothing companies and some of them are likely to enter different supermarkets,clothing stores.Some of them may go to universities or go abroad for their further studies.
