Recently, our Year 11 Chinese students participated in an exciting Chinese language scavenger hunt with students from Westlake Boys High School. The event was about friendly competition, teamwork, language practice, and cultural connection.
Students were placed into mixed teams, combining participants from both schools. Together, they worked to complete a series of fun and challenging missions, utilising their Chinese knowledge! From deciphering clues to finding cultural items and performing short dialogues, every task tested their language skills, creativity, and teamwork.
The atmosphere was full of laughter, excitement, and collaboration as students helped one another translate, pronounce, and communicate their way through the challenges. For many, it was an opportunity to apply their classroom learning in real-world situations and to see how far their Chinese had progressed.
By the end of the day, new friendships had formed across the schools. Some students even exchanged contacts to stay in touch and continue practising Chinese together. This was a wonderful outcome, demonstrating how language can bring people closer together.
The scavenger hunt was a great success and a memorable way to celebrate learning.
