In the recent student showcase, our Prep students demonstrated their impressive Thai reading abilities by participating in a unique and engaging activity.

The showcase not only highlighted their Thai language reading skills but also demonstrated their individual growth and progress. It was a wonderful display of language proficiency and a testament to the hard work and commitment of our Prep students.
YEAR 2 ENGLISH: THE UGLY DUCKLING
Our Year 2 students wowed everyone with their English skills in a special play in our 2nd showcase. They acted out a short and fun story about the ugly duckling, with each student playing a different character. It was like a little play with each student showing who they were in the story. The showcase was a great way to see how well they can use English, and everyone did a fantastic job bringing the characters to life!
YEAR 3 MANDARIN: JEOPARDY GAME
In the recent student showcase, our Year 3 students displayed their amazing Mandarin skills in a fun and interactive way. They participated in a short Jeopardy game that tested their speaking, reading, and writing abilities in Mandarin. In the game, they read and translated Chinese characters, and then transcribed the corresponding English words in Mandarin. It was like a cool challenge that let everyone see how well they could use Mandarin in different ways. The showcase was not only a great learning experience but also a lively demonstration of the student's language talents. Well done, Year 3 students!
