Last Tuesday our Year 9/10 students got to head up to Melbourne for a fun cultural experience. We went over to the Vic Markets and walked around all the amazing stalls (and bought plenty of souvenirs to take home).

We then walked over to an authentic Indonesian restaurant and had some delicious foods, including nasi goreng (fried rice), krupuk (prawn crackers), beef rendang, and some spicy sambal (chilli sauce).

The students did a fantastic job researching the meals prior to our excursion, learnt how to order using bahasa Indonesia, and tried new foods (with positive and negative results).

Overall a great experience to further our understanding of other communities and showing appreciation to Indonesian culture.
