NIHON MATSURI – JAPAN FESTIVAL DAY 2019

THANK YOU – ARIGATOU - ありがとうございました。

 

A wonderful day was had last Friday, with students and staff enjoying performances, workshops and Japanese cultural activities. It was terrific to see so many students dressed up in their Japanese and Asian inspired outfits, having lots of fun with their learning experiences.

Special thanks to Akita Sushi, Tracey and helpers in the canteen for managing to get over 419 sushi rolls and 186 serves of yakisoba out to students on time. Also thanks to all the parents behind the scenes too, helping their children with costumes, etc.

TRIP HIGHLIGHT: TOYOHAMA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Thursday 5th September

Our sister school relationship started in 1994 with Toyohama Elementary School in Japan, so we have just marked 25 years of friendship. A couple of times each year, we exchange parcels and student letters, pictures, etc. and learn a little about what life is like in a different culture.

The visit to the sister school last time was a highlight for both students and staff, and school in Japan was very different to what we were expecting.
