Japanese Report

Visit from Yuki Sato – Nishishiba Elementary, Yokohama Japan

On Tuesday 8 August 2017, we had the pleasure of hosting Yuki Sato, a Japanese primary school teacher from Nishishiba Elementary, for a day visit as part of a professional development exchange program with St Albans Heights Primary School.

 

She spent the day observing a variety of classes, of which included year 7 maths, year 10 EAL and numerous Japanese classes. Yuki also engaged in conversations with our year 12 students studying Japanese about school life in Australia and Japan.

 

She thoroughly enjoyed her visit and stated that she was glad to be able to learn so much about the curriculum and education system in Australia.

 

It was a very valuable experience for both of us and we look forward to the prospect of hosting more Japanese teachers in the near future as part of this exchange program.
