International and middle school students meet for lunch

On November 12th several of our international students had the opportunity to enjoy a school lunch with Seiritsu's new class of first year middle school students. Being around the age of 13, the middle school students are naturally quite curious about everything. This is especially true concerning the international students, since the two groups normally don't have much contact with one another.
To satisfy this curiosity, and help the middle school students with their English education, the International Department staff and middle school homeroom teachers have set up times for the two groups to meet. Two weeks ago the international students participated in an English lesson, helping the Japanese students with their English conversation. This was followed by last Friday's lunch so the students could talk to each other in a less structured environment.
The middle school students were very excited to finally have the chance to meet the foreign faces of Seiritsu and ask all the questions they wanted.
