Vincentia High School Indonesian News

It has been a busy and exciting few weeks for Indonesian students at Vincentia High School. Year 10 students, Sarah Kenny and Tiffany Reilly, placed 1st and 3rd respectively in the NSW Indonesian Writing Competition, Kompetisi Siswa. Year 11 student, Jay Edwards was awarded the prestigious title of Australian Indonesian Student of the Year and travelled to Deakin University in Melbourne to attend the Presentation Ceremony.

Last week the school received a visit from the Australia-Indonesia Youth Exchange Program (AIYEP) group, accompanied by ABC International, which has become known as one of the best days ever at VHS. All students studying Indonesian in Years 8, 9, 10 and 11 attended a cultural performance by the group, which was both fun and interesting. We then hosted a lunch for all participants with an Indonesian feast. A huge thanks to the Year 10 Hospitality students who helped with the lunch. The theme of the day as Menemukan Teman-Teman Baru and this was well received by all, as many new friendships were made and Facebook details exchanged. This is the first time that Indonesian students have visited Vincentia High School and after the success of the visit, will certainlly not be the last.

Greetings

I teach Year 9 Indonesian at a small country school in Victoria, and I would like to develop an online collaborative project with another Year 9 Indonesian
class.

I would love to develop a two week project focusing on "Our place in the World" and hopefully resulting in a skype session and other forms of online collaboration.

If this is something you are interested in, please contact me via email at mheintze@wmyc.vic.edu.au

I look forward to working with you.
