Some of our Y7 Indonesian students held a zoom session and their counterparts in West Papua, Indonesia. 

Student Reflection 

On the 24^th of October 2023, a few students from Pak Eddy and Bu Prue’s Year 7 Indonesian classes met with a group of students in West Papua and held the first meeting in The Black Pearl Network series. The Black Pearl Network is an organisation that provides English education to underprivileged students in West Papua, these skills can get them many new opportunities and success. We, the Woodleigh students, used this opportunity to practise our Indonesian in real-life situations as well as help the West Papua students to practise their English. We played a selection of games and practised our vocab, and everyone had a blast! When it was finally time to say goodbye, we ended the call with newfound knowledge, ready for the second run!
