Indonesian Connections

On Wednesday 12 June, an Indonesian Assembly was held to farewell the 28 Indonesian students from BPK BPK PENABUR Jakarta Christian Junior High School, who visited Mother Teresa Catholic College for a 3-day immersion program.

We welcomed special guests Mrs Listiana Operanta (Consul General of the Republic of Indonesia), Mr Antonius Prawira Yudianto (Consul for Information and Socio-Cultural Affairs), and Mr Robbie Gaspar (President of the Indonesia Institute) to our bilingual assembly.

The assembly showcased Indonesia's rich cultural heritage through lively performances and heartfelt speeches, highlighting the value of bilateral friendships and mutual respect between our two nations. Our special guests emphasised the importance of fostering connections between Indonesia and Australia through language and cultural understanding.

Our student buddies were commended for their role in the program. Through their kindness, patience, and willingness to embrace diversity, they ensured the program's success and left a lasting impression on our visiting Indonesian students.

Bagus sekali!
