On 8th December 2017, Year 10 Mandarin IGCSE and Secondary EAL students visited the Haw Par Villa theme park to learn about the famous stories of Chinese literature such as the ‘Journey to the West’ and ‘White Snake Legend’.
This trip introduced us to the traditional Chinese values and stories told by Chinese people through their lives. This theme park has around 1,000 beautiful hand carved statues and 150 giant dioramas that dramatise Chinese legends and culture.
Here are some students’ reflections:
“It was really interesting to learn the Chinese culture & old stories.” Seorin
“I really enjoyed visiting Haw Par Villa and learning about the Chinese culture.” Thomas
“I learned Chinese culture and it was very different to Japanese culture.” Misheel
“I really enjoyed this trip. I want to learn more about Chinese culture and history.” Yuichiro
“It was a really fantastic trip and I learned some information about new Chinese culture.” Shun

Our Year 7 students went on two amazing trips to Sibu Island, Malaysia, for their year group residential. Surrounded by the beauty of nature and immersed in a vibrant new culture, students had the chance to connect with their friends and make memories that will last forever.
