2023 Bali

Indonesian Teacher Ms Ita Rose has been busy planning a proposed June 2023 trip to Bali for her Indonesian students.  It is not confirmed yet, but looks like an amazing experience for our students.

There is little doubt experiencing Indonesian culture firsthand assists students with their understanding of the language and its people. Being immersed in the language and culture of Indonesia for even a short time is an invaluable experience for students learning Indonesian.

Throughout the years of studying Indonesian, the students complete several cultural assignments. Many of the places we will visit and activities we will undertake as part of this excursion will give the students a first-hand understanding and experience of what we learn and study in class. In Year 12 the students must complete a detailed study. Bali is a unique island where most of the people there embrace the religion of Hindu. Experiencing the island of Bali with its beauty and rich culture, observing the impact of COVID 19 to the tourism industry, visiting national parks, appreciating the art of temples in Bali and experience in climbing a volcano will give the students first-hand contact with Indonesian culture. 

This camp will run for 10 days. We are very aware of the considerable cost of this trip. The cost for the tour which includes accommodation, transport, meals and cost to visit the tourism places based on a minimum of 10 participants is $1500 per person. Due to the fact that we will not know the airline price until closer to the date, we have allocated $1500 per person for the airfare. 

It is hoped that students are able to contribute a reasonable amount to the cost of this trip. Parents should not be expected to foot the entire bill. Spending money might be the student’s responsibility even if they’re not working.
