Japanese Festival - Instructions for Lunch Orders | Tuesday 2 July
We are excited to announce that on Tuesday 2 July the students of Morris will participate in a Japanese festival in the style of Obon. In Japan this festival is held in summer and people return home to remember and honour their families. A festival atmosphere prevails, lanterns are lit, drums are played and people dance in the streets. This event provides us with a valuable opportunity to come together and celebrate our school wide Japanese language program in an authentic manner. The wider school community is warmly invited to attend. Please note this date in your diary.
You will have received details by email, including instructions about how to order a Bento box and/ or sushi lunch. A copy of this information can be accessed here.
