Places of interest: Padbury Catholic Primary and Harmony Primary School
During our Perth trip, I was in group 5 under Mrs Pauline Tan.
Our first activity was to visit Harmony Primary school. After our visit, we went on to Padbury Primary School. We had to have buddies in that school. Some were boys and some were girls. Our buddies had a few minutes to take us on a tour around their school. Then we had to assemble in their school hall. After a quick introduction, we had to teach our buddies to play zero-point using rubber bands. We took turns to jump over the rubber bands. We had an enjoyable time with our buddies. Thereafter, we headed to the school field to play some field games our buddies had planned for us. We had a whale of a time! There were games like tug of war, ball games, and novelty races. After the games, almost everybody felt like passing out from the heat and the running. But all in all, we made new friends who are the same age as us and learnt a lot on classroom and outdoor lessons in Perth. After a long, tiring day, we gave our buddies souvenirs and they gave us one too!
I really wished the time given in Perth would be extended it was such an enjoyable time!

After having breakfast in the hotel like all the other days, we checked out and went to Harmony Primary School. We met many new friends and learnt how the pupils studied and more about their daily life. The building of the school is made of recycled, recyclable and environmentally-friendly materials. It utilizes energy from the Sun and air flows to provide natural heating and cooling effects. There are water and power saving devices too! We also taught our new friends how to make a goldfish out of angpows.
At Padbury Catholic, we played with our new friends a game of ‘zero-point’. After spending a few hours of games with our new friends, we had to say goodbye.
After that, we went to Springhills Farm, it was a LONG DRIVE. As everyone was tired from playing under the HOT sun, the whole bus was peaceful and quiet as almost everyone fell asleep. We finally reached the farm near dinner time. We got used to our rooms and it turned out to be better than I expected. It was not only very comfortable but also very cool. After having dinner, we went out to see the stars.
We could apply what we learnt on our first day at Scitech about stars and constellations. We saw the Orion’s belt and the Southern Cross too! We all then had our last night in Perth. Because there was no network, nobody could give their loved ones a call. Everyone was anxious and couldn’t wait to call back. Our tour guide managed to get in touch with the school and sent out a message to our parents to assure them of our safety.
