2018-02-09 Quiz Night

With Chinese New Year just around the corner, what better way to celebrate than another NESTA Quiz Night? NETs came and got their brain trivia picked for another evening of laughs!

On 12 January 2018, the NESTA Executive gathered at the Sai Ying Pun Conference room to attend the first NESTA GM of 2018! Many topics were discussed and voted on by the members in attendance. Thank you to all who came out! 🙂

Puppets in class? Yes!

In January, the EDB held a workshop on puppetry. Attendees were all able to make their own puppets and practice performing with them. Later, some attendees’ students used simple paper puppets to bring to life a short drama in class! Very exciting stuff! 🙂

Many Christmas carols and much mulled wine later, the NETs were off with sugar plum fairies dancing in their heads. See you next year!
