Year 8 & 9 Languages Day 2024: A Celebration of Culture, Creativity, and Culinary Adventures
Year 8 & 9 Languages Day 2024: A Celebration of Culture, Creativity, and Culinary Adventures
Year 8 Languages Day 2024 celebrated the breadth of learning about languages and cultures here at SAC, with the students enjoying a range of activities. The French students started the day with a concert by the French-Canadian singer Étienne at St Peter’s College before returning to school and having fun creating and performing skits using different scenarios. Meanwhile, the Chinese girls tried their hand at making dumplings before learning and performing a dance choreography. The Italian students participated in ‘La gara fantastica’ (Amazing Race) around the Central Market before watching a puppet show of ‘Puss in Boots’ by Carousel Theatre. Overseen by Amelia and Yvonne, our Language Leaders for 2024, all of the girls also heard from senior students about the Overseas Study Tours and what it is like to continue with their studies.
A few days later, the Year 9 students celebrated their languages study with their own Languages Day. This time, while the Chinese and Italian students negotiated their way around the Central Market, the French students enjoyed the gastronomic delights of different cheeses and the quintessential dish of escargots. Language games, a gara dei selfie, shared lunches and artistic activities, as well as some rounds of Italian scopa, finished off the day.
