On 15th April the Year 10’s hosted a party for one of our community partners, Mai Tam orphanage. Our Year 10 Students devised a number of fun activities for the children from Mai Tam House of Hope.
Last night Tu Xuong Primary put on an outstanding performance of ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. From the moment the opening line was said to the final song the show was top quality and it was wonderful to see. The Roald Dahl classic story is about a little boy who finds one of five golden tickets in a Wonka chocolate bar and wins a lifetime supply of chocolate and a trip to Willy Wonka’s magical chocolate factory.
This production was indeed an epic undertaking in all sense of the word. With a huge cast of 71 performers, a complicated plot, challenging dramatic themes, rousing music and complex scenery, costumes and props, we definitely had our work cut out for us! But after many months of hard work and dedication from a very talented cast and extremely supportive parents and staff we finally made it… and what a performance it was! As Mr Simon reflected, it was almost unbelievable that this production was performed so well by children between the ages of 7 and 11.
This year's Year 7 trip to Madagui was an action-packed adventure, full of opportunities to challenge students and work together in teams. An action-packed week of zip-lining, rock climbing, bamboo raft building, sports games, water polo, community service, camping, archery, basket weaving and scavenger hunting was enjoyed by all and the students set a fine example in how to get the most out of the experience.
Lots of fun was had as the children took part in activities such as javelin, various track events and long jump at the Tu Xuong Primary Sports Day 2015! Well done to everyone for taking part with such good sportsmanship and a positive attitude.
The last week of January saw Year 8s travelling to Da Lat in the Central Highlands for a week of adventure, teamwork and fun. Students enjoyed trekking through beautiful countryside, camping, raft building, abseiling, zip lining, interacting with students from a hearing impaired school, sightseeing, dancing and more.
