=__Task 2- Part 1__= =//Cultural Context:// The term **school** **culture** generally refers to the beliefs, perceptions, relationships, attitudes, and written and unwritten rules that shape and influence every aspect of how a school functions, but the term also encompasses more concrete issues such as the physical and emotional safety of students, the orderliness of classrooms and public spaces, or the degree to which a school embraces and celebrates racial, ethnic, linguistic, or cultural diversity.= http://edglossary.org/school-culture/

=//Social Context:// The school is becoming an ever more important meeting place. For children, the school is often the only place where they meet their friends. 21st century learners, do not necessarily go to school that is near by. They often travel several miles to the school of their choice. As a result, these school buildings are also becoming social hubs and places of informal information exchange. The internet (Facebook, email...) is another way for students to connect with one another.= http://www.vanerumgroup.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=111:school-as-a-social-environment&catid=10&Itemid=2
