St Marcel Académie

*Earth Day Celebrations*

At St. Marcel Academy, we marked Earth Day through a variety of meaningful activities.

Students engaged in thoughtful reflections on how they have been caring for the environment and identified ways they can improve. They also created crafts using natural materials and participated in other enjoyable, hands-on experiences that deepened their appreciation for nature.

These activities reminded us all of our shared responsibility to protect the Earth—the only planet that sustains life—and to take conscious steps toward a more sustainable future.

Day 8–9: Our Last Adventure in Singapore!

"This was our last day… and we didn’t know it would be one of the coolest!

We started by visiting the city planning centre. At first, we didn’t really know what to expect… but wow—it was amazing! We learned how Singapore plans its future: buildings, roads, and even whole neighborhoods. It felt like looking into the future!

Then we went to Changi Airport… and we were all confused—“Why are we going to the airport so early?”
But it’s not just an airport… it’s like a mini city! There are shops, gardens, play areas—and we saw the incredible Jewel Rain Vortex , the world’s tallest indoor waterfall. It was magical!

After that, we visited Merlion Park, the symbol of Singapore. On the way, we even saw otters swimming in the city—so surprising and fun!

We did some quick shopping in Chinatown and Kampong Glam (Malay village), and enjoyed a delicious meal at Cappadocia, tasting Turkish food together.

We also noticed how busy the city was, with people from all over the world doing business—it made us understand how international Singapore is.

Then it was time to go back to the hotel… and soon after, head to the airport again—this time for real
We passed again through Jewel before starting our journey back home.

During our stop in Addis Ababa, we had breakfast while waiting for our next flight.

The return trip felt much shorter… maybe because we were excited to go home and share all our stories!

Home sweet home—back to Lubumbashi, with unforgettable memories!"

Day 7 Adventure in Singapore!

"Today we visited the National Museum of Singapore, where we learned about the country’s history and culture.
It helped us understand how Singapore preserves its heritage and inspires future generations.

Next, we went to the ArtScience Museum, a true landmark of the city. It was amazing to see how art, science, and technology come together in such creative and innovative ways. We learned a lot while having fun!

For lunch, we went to Aston Restaurant, where we enjoyed a well-deserved meal and took time to relax after a morning full of learning.

Another day full of discovery, creativity, and inspiration!"

Narrated by Franchesca PYP4 student.

Day 6 Adventure in Singapore!

"We had a long night because we had to do our own laundry — it was a new experience for many of us!

The next morning was special because it was Easter we all went to church , a very important celebration. We also learned about the different religions in Singapore, where Christianity is the second most practiced religion.

After church, we went shopping at Bugis Street and had lunch together.

Then we visited the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum at the National University of Singapore. We also had a short campus tour by bus and learned about Southeast Asian biodiversity, research, conservation, and education.

Later, we had a meal at a seafood restaurant, followed by a short visit to Clarke Quay.

After such a full and exciting day, we returned to the hotel feeling tired but happy.

Another day full of learning, culture, and new experiences!"

Day 5 Adventure in Singapore!

Today we went to Sentosa Island! Before starting, we learned a bit about its history — it was once used as a quarantine facility, which was very interesting!

Our day started at Universal Studios, where we had so much fun exploring .
Then we walked along the Sensory Walk, which was so calm and relaxing. After that, we reached the all man-made beach and had an amazing time playing and enjoying the view!

We also visited Fort Siloso, where we learned more about Singapore’s colonial history.

Next, we went to the Oceanarium, one of the biggest aquariums! There was so much to see and learn — we wished we had more time to explore everything!

In the afternoon, we went shopping to practice our agency, budgeting, and math skills… so many things to buy, but not enough money! 😄

We ended the day with lunch at Tiffany Café & Restaurant.

Another exciting and unforgettable day!

Narrated by Ayla PYP3 student.

Day 4 Adventure in Singapore!

Today we went to the Singapore Zoo, where it felt like we traveled across five continents in one day!
We walked a lot and discovered amazing animals, including some that only exist in certain countries — it was so interesting!

We also met and interacted with other students from Hong Kong, which was really fun and exciting!

After such a long and intense experience, we took a well-deserved break in the afternoon. We enjoyed some exotic fruits and local cuisine, which was a new experience for many of us.

Later, we went back to the hotel to rest, relax, and recharge after such a hot but amazing day.

Another unforgettable day full of discovery and fun!

Narrated by Andy PYP5 student.

Day 3 Adventure in Singapore!

After our morning routine, we headed to the city center, where we explored Singapore’s history. We saw many iconic places like the Civic District, Padang, Parliament House, Supreme Court, City Hall, and Marina Bay. It felt like walking through the story of the country!

Then we visited the IB Asia-Pacific Global Centre (in the famous “Batman building”). We had the chance to interact with the IB team and learn more about what IB students around the world experience ,it made us feel proud and connected!

Later, we went to Gardens by the Bay, where we discovered so many different plants and environments. We also explored the Jurassic World area, which made learning even more fun and exciting.

Day 3 was a perfect mix of history, global learning, and nature!

Narrated by Samuel PYP4 student.

Day 2 Adventure in Singapore!

After breakfast, we visited the Science Centre and learned how science and technology help build a smart nation . It was so cool!

At Westgate, we showed our independence by choosing and paying for our own meals.

Then we went to Snow City winter in a hot country… amazing!

We ended the day at Kim Korean BBQ, where we grilled our own food so much fun!

What a day full of learning and new experiences!

Our Singapore Trip Adventure! Day 1.

We started our journey in Lubumbashi , and we were all super excited to travel together! Then we flew and made a stop in Addis Ababa before finally arriving in Singapore — it felt like such a long but amazing trip!

When we arrived, our tour director welcomed us, and it made us feel really happy and ready for the adventure. After a little rest and checking into our hotel, we couldn’t wait to go out again.

We went to Chinatown for Dinner and tried Chinese food — some of us tasted new dishes for the first time!

It was so much fun… what a blast!
