Class gets taste of Indonesia

Students immersed themselves in Indonesian culture at Maranatha Christian College, Endeavour Hills last week.

Year 7 students were joined by an Indonesian husband-and-wife team called Baguskan, an Indonesian word for the phrase ‘it’s good isn’t it?’

Students learned an Indonesian cultural dance, played an instrument from an Indonesian Gamelan orchestra and watched a shadow puppet performance of a traditional Indonesian folk story called Ramayana.

“Students were very excited about it,” Year 7 Indonesian teacher Helen Jarosz said.

“I think it’s really important for students to be exposed to outside visitors, as well as take part in cultural events. It was a great opportunity to learn about Indonesian culture and practice language skills.”
