Year 10 students from Mullumbimby High School entertained 56 year 6 students from Brunswick Public School today by writing, creating and performing traditional Indonesian shadow puppet plays called Wayang.

The puppet shows were produced by the Year 10 elective Indonesian class and told stories of finding Nemo, counting classroom objects and shopping for pets. The Indonesian language used in the plays was explained and reinforced through interactive games with prizes.

Yudi, the Balinese assistant teacher at Mullumbimby High School inspired and directed the students with their wayang creations. Elke Buhrich, teacher of Indonesian at Mullumbimby High School explained “This has been a enjoyable learning experience for all involved and a great opportunity to develop relationships with our sister school."
