22 and 23 May 2025 marks the first high school exchange
between Singapore Korean International School (SKIS) and Yishun Innova Junior
College (YIJC). Our Grade 10 to 12 students were good cultural ambassadors by
participating alongside with our guests in various activities including Korean
calligraphy, Korean childhood games, K-pop random dance, and the making of
hwachae (fruit punch) and injeolmi (rice cake with soy bean powder), the latter
being the most popular programme among students. To commemorate the 50th
anniversary of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Singapore, SKIS and
YIJC students gave an insightful presentation on the intangible cultural
heritage of both countries. Our students also got to experience junior college
life by attending lessons ranging from PE to Tamil Language. The 2-day high
school exchange provided an important platform for SKIS high students to have a
glimpse of each other's education system and cultural tapestry.
