Welcome New West Secondary from Canada!
On Wednesday, the New Westminister Secondary School Girl's Basketball Team from British Columbia, Canada came for a short, but sweet visit. They are on a tour around Japan, and while they were unable to have a practice game with our girl's team because it is now term two's exam time, we were able to show our Canadian visiters the school and allow them a chance to talk to our students. As the pictures can attest, lots of smiles from everyone.
Here they met with some 15 & 16 year olds about to have a PE class.
There was a Japanese calligraphy class going on when the Canucks arrived so they were able to see students practicing different calligraphy skills. This team comes to Japan about every year so in 2013 we hope to have a few practice games, and organize some cultural events for them as well.
Thanks goes out to Coach Doug and the parents for organizing the trip and the visit to the school! We look forward to seeing you again next year!
