eek Without Walls; the amazing adventure that brings the best out of you. My name is Natalie from Grade 8 and I am proud to say that I have experienced one of the best trips of my entire life. During WWW, we did so many different activities which makes this experience different. This year, our grade went to Hua Hin. We did so many fun activities such as bike riding to Black Mountain water park to Sandcastle Building at the beach and end up with karaoke back at the hotel late at night. These were by far the best and craziest memories from the trip. This trip was such a memorable experience that I will never forget and hope that someday, other kids get to experience the same thing. :) - Natalie

his year, the class of 2023, 48 students and 12 adults, went to Hua Hin during Week Without Walls. Not only is Week Without Walls a five-day trip where we students and teachers get to go on a trip together, but it also provides many real life lessons that we might will never learn about at school. I personally see it as a chance to renew lost friendships with your old friends and also make new ones. We learnt how to solve problems more maturely, and learnt more about other students’ personalities. We also learnt about the history of the different foundations we visited. Every night, when I lie on the chair at the balcony and look up to the night skies, finally having peace after the long and exhausting day, I use this chance to reflect about life, my mistakes, my past, and the infinite possibilities that lay ahead of me. - Khao Jao and William

eek Without Walls...The time of our lives. It always feels so good to be free and away. It only lasted a week, but the fun made it feel as though we were atop of cloud, rising higher to the peak of our lives. We all got some refreshing coconut milk that brightened our spirits. We got to learn about how the mangrove forest used to be a shrimp farm, but after it was abandoned, the chemicals in the water, and the trash flowing in from the sea caused most of the mangrove trees to die. The teachers helped us demonstrate the perfect tableau. They shouted “Three! Two! One!” then all the teachers went to lie onto the ground. They asked us to guess what they were trying to interpret. I happily said “TEACHERS ARE TIRED OF STUDENTS” that was probably one of the smarter moments of the trip. Nothing could have beaten that tableau, it was a masterpiece, it was amazing, wonderful and spectacular. We thanked all our chaperones, teachers and the people working at the hotel, because they helped provide us with such a fun and wonderful trip. All of the fun trips we had all around Hua Hin made us more aware of the world. We learned to cooperate better with each other in the team building activities, while still having the best of times - Elia and Poon
