Around the School

2023

On 13 June 2023, an Indonesian excursion was organized for a group of year 5 students based on their consistent work ethic, positive attitude, and respectful/safe social behaviour. It is pleasing to see the enthusiasm expressed by the students at Aveley Primary School to improve their learning of the Indonesian Language. This excursion helps support our Indonesian Languages program and hopefully encourage students to continue their study of the Indonesian language. We hope to further their cultural understanding and its importance in developing a closer relationship between Australia and Indonesia. The excursion was to The Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia and Batavia Indonesian Restaurant.

The visit to the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia provides an insight into Indonesian culture and customs. There was a variety of activities presented by the Consulate to enhance the learners’ understanding of Indonesian Language and culture. The Indonesian cultural performances provide students with instant insight into the diversity of Indonesia and the Indonesian people. The students got to play ‘Angklung’, a musical instrument made from bamboo and participated in traditional dance workshop.

At the Indonesian Restaurant, the students enjoyed tasting many varieties of Indonesian food prepared for our lunch. This was a unique and enjoyable opportunity for the students to be immersed in the Indonesian language outside the classroom. Thank you to Ms Lisa Kerridge for assisting us on our excursion as a parent helper. We hope to make this excursion a yearly event.

We had our Lion Dance incursion on February 3rd. to welcome the Year of the Tiger/Harimau. The lion dance is one of the most important traditions at Chinese New Year. It is performed to bring prosperity, happiness and good luck for the upcoming year. Lion dances are performed accompanied by the music of beating of drums, cymbals, and gongs instruments synchronise to the lion dance movements and actions. With this incursion the students are aware of the Lunar New Year celebration and helps to broaden their minds and inculcate cultural awareness.
