Thirteen students from Years 9 through to Year 11 participated in this year’s Japan Trip during the Term break. Students had the opportunity to utilise their spoken Japanese skills and hone their listening skills as they navigated their way around Japan. Many iconic places were visited: Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Hiroshima, Miyajima and Osaka. In Osaka we visited our sister city, Ikeda, where we introduced ourselves to the Mayor. We finished our two weeks with a four-night homestay with families from our sister school in Osaka, Osaka International High School, making new friends and many memories as well as re-connecting with some of the students who visited us at school in March!
A special thank you to Mr Stephen Dobson and Ms Kate Stokes for all their assistance both before and during the trip. And to all the students – it was a pleasure to travel with you all.
Arigatoo gozaimashita!
