The 2016 Indonesian Ambassadors received their badges at our Harmony Day Assembly on 4th March.
The Ambassadors have the important role of increasing the use of Indonesian in the classrooms and throughout the school.
On Friday 4th March, Harmony Day, we celebrated the cultural diversity of our school community. This day was enhanced by our celebration of Indonesian culture. Students across the school were engaged in a range of Indonesian cultural activities involving dance, music and puppetry. This special day concluded with a final assembly where students performed the dances and music they had learnt during their workshops. It was a colourful display of brilliant costumes, dance and engaging music.
This term, students across the school are learning how to introduce themselves and how to greet others.
Some useful phrases include:
Selamat Pagi – Good Morning
Selamat Siang – Good afternoon
Nama saya … – My name is … (ie. Nama saya Bu Kranz – My name is Mrs Kranz)
You can access a Comprehensive Wordlist – Greetings (used by students in Years 3-6) here.
