We also discussed the upcoming School Exchange preparation sessions, where students will rehearse their performances and get ready for their interactions with our Vietnamese friends.

Today, we had a productive Zoom meeting to finalise the exciting programmes we will be conducting during our trip to Vietnam. We’re thrilled to announce a variety of engaging activities, including a skit, sports games, and interactive lessons designed especially for our Vietnamese friends. These activities will not only foster camaraderie but also allow us to share and learn from one another's cultures.

In addition, we’re eagerly preparing for our first virtual meet-up with our Vietnamese counterparts next week! During this session, we'll have the opportunity to introduce ourselves, break the ice, and start building meaningful connections. We’ve been busy preparing conversation starters to ensure a warm and lively exchange. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the big day!

During our fourth meeting, we had the privilege of connecting with some of our Vietnamese friends over Zoom. This virtual exchange gave us a valuable opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations and build rapport ahead of our upcoming visit to Vietnam.

Through an interactive Q&A session, we were able to ask insightful questions about Vietnamese culture, local customs, and what to expect during our stay. Their responses provided us with a deeper understanding of their way of life, helping us better prepare for our trip.

This meeting not only allowed us to gain practical information, but it also sparked excitement and strengthened our connection with our host country, making our upcoming trip all the more enriching.

We are grateful for their warm welcome and look forward to meeting them in person soon!
