 YEAR 7 INDONESIAN COOKING 

This term, year 7 Indonesian students learnt about Indonesian food and cooking.  They then worked in groups to research on a selected food to prepare at home. They learnt to describe the ingredients and cooking steps in Indonesian, and finally created amazing cooking videos. Hebat sekali kelas 7!

Victorian Young Leaders Indonesian Program 

This term, some of our year 9 Indonesian students participated in the Victorian Young Leaders' program, organised by DET, Melbourne University and the Asia Education Foundation. In this immersive 3-week online program, students were placed into classes with Indonesian language teachers and University of Melbourne undergraduate student mentors. Through this program, students further developed their Indonesian language skills, understanding of culture and connected with students across Victoria and Indonesia. 

“I enjoyed participating in this program. It was educational and fun”, 

Grace M, Y9. 

“It was good to connect with other Indonesian students here and in Indonesia”, Fleur and Sam, Y9.
