Singapore Korean International School (SKIS) and Swiss Cottage
Secondary School (SCSS) held their middle school exchange on 28 and 29 May 2025 for the second consecutive year.
This time students had the opportunity to experience Korean culture first-hand through
calligraphy, childhood games and the making of hwachae (fruit punch) and
injeolmi (rice cake with soy bean powder). Of course the K-pop random dance was
the climax of the programme at SKIS. Student leaders from both schools also
gave an impressive presentation on the mutual influence of Singapore and South
Korea¡¯s government policies and trade relations to commemorate the 50th
anniversary of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Singapore. Our SCSS
counterpart continued on this theme by helping SKIS students understand the
importance of food sustainability to Singapore through making the popular snack
popiah together. The 2-day middle school exchange programme culminated with the
design of handphone holders on iPads which SKIS students will receive their customised handphone holder through laser printing
in the Design & Technology studio at SCSS.
