Indonesian Language Students Learn the Saman

12.12.21

In Term 4, Indonesian language students across Years 7 to 9 took part in learning a traditional Indonesian dance known as the Saman. The Saman is a UNESCO heritage listed dance due to its significance for the Aceh people of Indonesia.

The dance was led by St Columba College Alumni Christina Mathieson (Class of 2016). Christina shared her journey with the language and people of Indonesia before teaching them a part of the Saman performance.

Our students had a great time learning the dance. St Columba Alumni contribute to the life of the College by engaging and inspiring our current students.
