Nippon School Visit

About a month ago the students from Nippon University in Japan came to our school. They came here to do fun activities with us and learn about Nepal and its culture. They were really sweet, kind, fun loving, and really energetic.

There were so many students that we lost track of their names. They taught us some really cool dance moves, and some super fun games. They encouraged us to play and have fun. Overall, they were really nice and outgoing. Although, it was sad when they left, we had a great time with them. We think they also found it very enjoyable.

 Joint School One Act Play

On September 29, we had ‘One Act Play’ in St. Xavier’s, Godawari. Our school had 15 participants and 20 audience into the programme. We were nervous when we got to the stage. We did our best to show our dramas. Our drama was about discrimination and the moral was ‘Do not discriminate others’. We learned many new morals and was very inspiring. Finally, we got the certificate and we returned back to our respective school. We hope to participate in this kind of activities in the future as well.

Case studies presentations prepared by different circles from different schools were also the main events of the programme.

Then, we entertained the elderly people by showcasing our cultural aspects through performances. After the performances, we enjoyed with them by playing some joyful games.

We were also honored to know about their individuality personally. By participating in such activities, we got to learn and they also get to share. Therefore, we would like to participate more in such activities in the future and thank the school for organizing such a heartwarming activity.

Outdoor School Students’ Australia Visit to KUHS

After all the preparations we started a few months ago, we were so overwhelmed to welcome our lovely guests from Outdoor School, Australia on 19th of September and also enthusiastic to spend our next four days with them.

On the very first day, we began our journey towards Hotel Moonlight where our guests were staying after they arrived to Nepal. We were a group of 11 students from KUHS along with some of our teachers. We reached to the hotel to welcome our guests, had some talk about their journey to Nepal from Australia and moved towards ICIMOD knowledge park where we got opportunity to learn about farming, traditional technologies and different weather forecasting apparatus. After that, we headed towards Australian Embassy, Nepal where the Ambassador HE Felicity Volk welcomed our guests to Nepal. And the day was about to end and four of us who were hosting homestay for the guests welcome our respective groups to our home which was the most exciting part of the students exchange program.

Homestay was a new experience for each and every one of us as we got the chance of sharing our culture, lifestyle and food with those people who were completely stranger for us (just had few conversations on messenger). But thankfully, we were able to adjust everything and gave our best for their comfort and they also cooperated so easily even though it was tough for them to adjust with a completely new lifestyle.

Another day began excitingly. Our guests were warmly welcomed to our school. Everyone’s face was filled with excitement as we had plans for different outdoor activities and interactive sessions with them. Each and every as activities were making us closer and letting us know more about each other’s culture. We also visited the Statue of Lord Shiva, Sanga which was also a memorable part. Again, back to homestay which continued every day.

Next day our day was completely related to social service with the assistance of Rotary club of Panauti. We had a short visit to Banepa as well as some historical sites of Panauti where we got to enjoy delicious Newari food. On the same day, we went to visit the statue of Buddha at Dhulikhel which had already been closed unfortunately. But we enjoyed our time on the woods and stairs.

The last day was a bit sad because we didn’t want to say goodbye to our friends. We had a informative session about climate change at Kathmandu University and also about Nepalese culture and history. After that we headed towards our school for lunch followed by farewell program to our guests. And that was the time for goodbye with our heavy heart and eyes welled up.

Overall, we had an incredible time with them and got precious opportunity to learn about Australia and also to share about our lifestyle. We created memories for lifetime and also look forward to strengthen our friendship and turn it into a strong bond.
