THE JAPANESE WORD OF THE FORTNIGHT

すずしいです(pronounced ‘suzushiides’) which means ‘nice and cool’, is the Japanese Word for Week 2 & 3 of Term 2. You can use ‘すずしいです’ (‘suzushiides’) when you are feeling nice and cool. Please be careful ‘suzushiides’ does NOT mean ‘looking cool/awesome cool’ or ‘cold’.

Thank you / ありがとうございます (pronounced ‘aligatoh gozaimas’) for your continuing support for our Japanese program.

Japanese Cultural Day – Tues 23rd April 2024

We had a lot of fun on our Japanese Cultural Incursion Day, having performers showcasing their Japanese musical expertise. Toshi & Anne were energetic and highly entertaining! In classrooms, students participated in some Japanese craft activities such as sumie (ink drawing), origami and playing with Japanese traditional toys. I would like to thank the school community for your warm support and helping children get ready for the day. ありがとうございました。(Aligatoh gozaimashita!)

MUSICORP SCHOOL BAND

We are excited to be establishing a school band, which will be held on Monday lunchtimes.

Existing Musicorp students are invited to join as a part of their fees. We are also pleased to welcome any students in the school community who are learning a brass, woodwind or string instrument outside of school.

For non Musicorp students, there is a term fee of $55 to cover the cost of music. If you are wishing to enrol or have any further questions regarding the band program, please contact Tayla tjeal@polygongroup.com.au or 1300 858 911
