Exploring Hainan: Cultural Adventures and Local Traditions
On Day 2 of their China Tour, our students dived into Hainan’s vibrant culture, exploring historic streets, shopping at local markets, and sampling traditional yum cha. They even had the opportunity to experience Chinese heritage firsthand by dressing in traditional attire.
The day concluded with a Hainanese dinner, where students discovered the meaning behind Chinese dining traditions and the symbolism of the round table, celebrating family, connection, and togetherness. This immersive experience offered rich insights into local life and created lasting memories for our students.
We acknowledge and pay respect to the Marin Balluk people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which Overnewton Anglican Community College stands. We respect the knowledge that will be forever embedded within the Aboriginal Custodianship of Country and remember the loss of cultures, languages and Lands they have endured. Like the Marin Balluk people, we at Overnewton want to respect the Land, the cultures and the heritages, and learn from those who have come before us in the passing on of knowledge and the teaching of life skills, as well as continue with wise stewardship of our buildings and grounds. We honour their custodianship of this Land and offer them our deep respect.
