VASers Explore “Happy Farm” and “The Land of Mist” Đà Lạt in Their October Field Trips
October of the 2025–2026 school year became truly special for VASers as students from Primary to Secondary levels eagerly joined their meaningful experiential field trips. While Grades 1–5 enjoyed an exciting “learn and play” day at Happy Farm, Grades 8 and 9 embarked on a memorable 3-day-2-night journey to Dalat, where they explored the beauty of Vietnam’s agricultural heritage.
1. Happy Farm: Experiencing the life of a farmer with respect for agriculture and love for nature
Early in the morning, Primary VASers gathered excitedly for their trip to Happy Farm. Dressed in traditional áo bà ba, they began their adventure with a series of fun activities: visiting the pet garden, collecting duck eggs, catching fish, crossing monkey bridges, balancing on rope bridges, and playing in the wheel playground.

A delicious buffet lunch featuring familiar dishes such as fried rice, spaghetti, crispy chicken, kimbap, and crab soup re-energized the students before they continued with afternoon activities like wrapping bánh ít (sticky rice cakes), dry slide games, grass sledding, and joining a festive Mid-Autumn celebration.

2. Đà Lạt: Exploring the heritage of Vietnam’s agriculture
For Grades 8 and 9, the Dalat journey began with fascinating stories about the nature and culture of the Central Highlands. Students applied this knowledge, together with AI technology, to tell the story of Vietnamese agriculture through their heritage media project — AGRI TELLING.
