    歡迎會中，北一女中陳智源校長及丁善理紀念中學陳偉泓校長皆在致詞中提及雖然是兩校同學們時隔多年後再次交流，但雙方過去有持續聯繫，故情誼不減，希望此次交流後能建立長期且更緊密的友誼關係。接續兩校交換禮品，北一女中致贈了寫有校呼的HBL紀念上衣及外套，丁善理紀念中學則致贈了越南的特產腰果。

        接著由北一女中綠衣使節介紹臺灣以及北一女的歷史，精美的簡報與詳細流暢的解說中穿插著問答，展現北一女學生的從容與專業。再來由丁善理紀念中學的同學向北一女中同學們介紹學校的特色與校園生活。會後兩校學生在富含歷史的光復樓長廊上餐敘，享用茶點的同時，互相交換聯絡方式、分享文化差異及趣事。

        輕鬆地聊天後，綠衣使節們帶著丁善理紀念中學的同學們進行校園導覽，在使節們仔細的解說下，丁善理中學的同學們讚嘆連連，也對北一女中校園及歷史有進一步的了解。走訪校園途中，兩校同學們也在各角落留下了珍貴的合照。隨著活動進入尾聲，使節們和丁善理紀念中學師生們在光復樓車寄及總統府前拍大合照以紀念本次的交流，活動在雙方不捨的道別中畫下了句點。

【News report】

Lawrence S. Ting School in Vietnam, established in 2008, shares a deep connection with Taipei First Girls High School. Its founder was a former principal of our school, and the current principal also once taught here. This visit marks the return of students from Lawrence S. Ting School to Taipei First Girls High School after 11 years.

On the afternoon of July 13, the student ambassadors went to Taipei Hero House to welcome the students from Lawrence S. Ting School. They greeted the visitors warmly and began a tour of Taipei Old Town. The tour, led by our school’s ambassadors, took them to landmarks such as 228 Peace Memorial Park and the North Gate, where they learned about Taipei’s history. Despite the blazing sun, the students remained enthusiastic and returned to Taipei First Girls High School with smiles and laughter.

First, the principals of both schools delivered speeches. The principal of Taipei First Girls High School and the principal of Lawrence S. Ting School each noted that, despite the years since their last student exchange, they had kept in touch and hoped to strengthen their friendship through this visit. Following the speeches, the schools exchanged gifts: Taipei First Girls High School gave an HBL jacket and a shirt, while Lawrence S. Ting School presented Vietnamese cashews.

Next, the student ambassadors gave fluent presentations about Taiwan and Taipei First Girls High School, showcasing their professionalism with engaging Q&A sessions. Following this, students from Lawrence S. Ting School presented the features of their school and shared insights into their school life. Later, the students from both schools enjoyed snacks in the corridor of the Guang-Fu Building. They had a great time exchanging social media contacts and sharing cultural experiences from their respective countries.

After chatting with each other, the ambassadors guided the students from Lawrence S. Ting School on a tour of the campus and the school history room. With detailed explanations from the ambassadors, the Lawrence S. Ting students not only expressed their appreciation but also gained a deeper understanding of Taipei First Girls High School’s campus and history. During the tour, students from both schools took the opportunity to capture precious group photos at various spots around the school.

Lastly, it was time for a group photo to mark the end of the program. The farewell took place in front of the carriage porch at the Guang-Fu Building and the Presidential Office Building, where the ambassadors and students from Lawrence S. Ting School said their goodbyes with a touch of reluctance. The students had shown great passion and enthusiasm throughout the program, and everyone looked forward to strengthening their bonds and creating unforgettable memories through future interactions.
