Alongside their Primary peers, Grade 6 & 7 students from across VAS embarked on an exciting field trip to Cần Thơ, exploring the culture of the Mekong Delta while spreading the message of green living.
Key activities included: team-building at Cần Thơ Eco Resort, a green lifestyle quiz gameshow, visiting Cồn Sơn, making traditional cakes, experiencing fish massage therapy, and developing a sustainable ecotourism project.
The journey wrapped up with a memorable Gathering Night – Road to Zero, where students shared reflections and showcased impressive art performances. Beyond the unforgettable memories, this trip raised environmental awareness and encouraged a greater sense of community responsibility.
