Goodbye HCMC and Friends

After eight enriching days, it was time to leave HCMC. The students have learnt a lot and this trip has definitely opened up their views of the world; that we are just a small entity in this massive world. They have learnt to be less self-centred, show more concern towards others and that quality human relationship is forged through face-to-face interaction and not via social media. As they leave developing Vietnam and back to cosmopolitan Singapore,  it is hoped that the human spirit of sincerity and humility from the Vietnamese will leave a lasting impression on them.

Rounding Up and Recognition of Job Well Done

Before the students and teachers leave for the airport, Mr Leong rounded up the whole trip with the students. The teachers also presented a Hard Rock Cafe - Vietnam T-shirt to students who have performed well during the trip in their respective groups. At the same time, the students also showed their appreciation to the teachers by penning their appreciation to them.

Gourmet Tour

On the last day, the students get to cook their own Vietnamese meal. They get to make their own salad sauce, fillings for their spring roll and get to make their seasoning for their chicken cutlet. Everyone was enjoying themselves preparing their own food
