On the 14th of December 2019, the last day of Term 4, we had a Christmas staff lunch and Yatchun took the team of tutors out for minigolf. This was to thank the staff for giving their best effort to make 2019 a great year. We really appreciate their positive contribution and hard work. This Christmas function was a team building exercise and it brought all of our tutors together. It was a great time for all the tutors to meet each other if they hadn’t already, and to network and share some teaching tips and ideas.
Minigolf was new to a lot of us. In spite the hot weather, we learnt the game through teeing off on the Safari golf course that was surrounded by animals and obstacles. We hit and hit the ball before it finally got into the hole. We had lots of fun and laughter, and it was certainly a great experience.
This outing ties into the topic of “Sports and Hobbies” that was taught in term 4 to a couple of our classes, including “Golf” 高尔夫球 gāo ěr fū qiú.
Below are some photos and short videos of the Christmas lunch and the minigolf outing.
