LETTERS FROM OUR SENIOR TAIKO DRUMMING STUDENTS
The following students wanted to share their thoughts about their recent Taiko Drumming performance at St Peter's College.

I think that our performances at St.Peters was really good, we had to work together as one and we had to do our best in the hot sun at St.Peters east.
We did our best and we recovered from all of our mistakes pretty quickly.
I am very grateful to have Andrews Sensei in our school to teach us taiko drumming!
At first I was scared and nervous at the West Campus but when I went to the East Campus I felt brave, I felt like everything else didn't matter and I just drummed. Overall I had a very fun time and a very good day

I am really proud of myself for what has happened today because I have never really done a performance out of school so this was my first. I only joined last year and doing this was a great experience. I enjoyed today because I was with my friends and seeing some of the people who went to our school was very surprising. When I graduate from St Therese’s I would love to join a club that does Taiko Drumming .

The experience of performing at St Peter’s was awesome!
It was so fun and even if I was nervous at first, when I started drumming, I just felt happy! I can’t wait to do another drumming performance!!!

A GOOD STORY ABOUT KINDNESS RETURNED:
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND
Last year, our school children raised $335 through some fund raising through Japanese classes. We raised these funds to help with the rebuilding of Kumamoto after a huge earthquake a few years ago. When we had our Japanese day, we presented Toshi Sakamoto with the donation on poster paper, just as a “fake cheque”, as they do on game shows etc. We were still collecting money at that stage. Our school deposited that $335 into his account by mistake. This mistake was only picked up in February 2020. When Toshi told the Japanese people about our kind donation to help rebuild their town, they turned around and told him to thank us but they were happy to donate our donation to the CFA after they saw how Australia was suffering with the bushfires. So on the 1st of March, Toshi donated our $335 to the CFA. So to all our families who helped our children raise money last year for Japanese Day, thank you for your kindness. What goes around comes around. Our kindness went around to the Japanese community and touched them and then they returned that kindness back to the Australian community. We need more kindness in our world. Thank you for being kind.
Most sincerely,
Joy Andrews
