Being the most expected series of events in October, Koolmarket Fair was the playground first held at IPS for students in Grades 4 – 5, opening up opportunities for them to experience a simple business model that was suitable for primary school students in a 100% English-speaking environment.
Koolmarket Fair was like a vivid picture creating the scene of a small market with six colorfully decorated stalls: food, books, school supplies, toys, handmade goods, and clothes that attract a large number of "little customers" to buy, sell and exchange goods. The children were free to choose their favorite items, practice their calculation abilities, confidently sell, negotiate, and make transactions entirely in English.
The game "Treasure Hunt" attracted many "little adventurers" to participate. Students had to overcome numerous challenges such as deciphering letters and exciting puzzles that required thinking and coordination between teammates. A lot of "mysterious treasures" were discovered in the cheers of joy and pride of the IPS students, making the atmosphere of the fair more bustling and joyful.
The Koolmarket Fair 2022 demonstrated the spirit of solidarity and mutual love, in addition to the meaning of organizing a practical and intellectual playground for students. IPS students spent a small part of the money, and the items they bought and sold at the fair and the "mysterious treasures" on sharing and supporting the less fortunate children in the IPS charity program in 2022.
The total amount of money raised by the students of 6 IPS campuses was 97,578,000 VND, with a lot of clothes, toys, books, food, etc. Hopefully, the gifts that the IPS students donated will inspire and motivate children who are less fortunate and make their lives better.
