The 12th of February was the last school day at Pine Hill’s International School. The last lesson that Hakuho students had was the Malaysian language class, where they learnt basic greetings and phrases. Hakuho students really enjoyed this final Malaysian language class and put all their efforts into learning what was taught.

The rest of the day was spent rehearsing their individual speeches and group skit for the graduation ceremony.

The graduation ceremony went very well. The students delivered heart touching individual speeches about their time at Pine Hills and they performed the group skit magnificently.

Over the past two weeks, Hakuho students have learned far beyond what a textbook can teach them. They have built friendships, embraced new challenges, and improved themselves as individuals. From learning the Malaysian language to playing pickleball, they have gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of Malaysian culture.

Although this marks the end of this exchange program, the precious memories, experiences and meaningful connections the students have made will remain with them.
