On Thursday, 19 June, I was fortunate enough to attend the Churros y Charlas (Churros and Chats) event. Year 11-13 students from both Westlake Girls and Boys were able to come together and develop our Spanish speaking skills and make friends with people we wouldn’t normally talk to. We participated in quizzes, Human Bingo, and even some dancing. Near the end of this event we were able to get three churros each, topped with either chocolate or caramel sauce.
This event gave me the opportunity to meet like-minded people who also took Spanish as a subject and wanted to improve their skills and form bonds.
It was a very fun event, the atmosphere was so warm and friendly, and I created lots of memories that I will carry with me throughout my life.
The Spanish teachers from both Westlake Girls, and Westlake Boys High School put in so much work to create a fun and exciting day for us to enjoy. It was truly an amazing experience and I’m grateful I had the opportunity to be a part of it.
