Fairhills' Annual Visit

Once again this year we had what is becoming an annual special event - which we are very happy to be able to hold. We hosted students from Fairhills High School.

This year we had 5 students visit us. Jessica once again accompanied her students and they did a fantastic job of representing their school.

They studied hard in the classes they attended. English class was really fun for the first period. It was primarily a class aimed at utilizing what the Japanese students had recently studied. The second period of English then continued on with a stronger focus on the grammar they need to remember.

There were other classes that the visitors sat in on as well. These classes included math classes and social studies classes.

This year, lunch time saw the visitors eating their lunches in the cafeteria. This meant that the more outgoing students from other classes also had an opportunity to meet the Australian students.

For the final ten minutes of class, the students from Fairhills gave short performances to their host classrooms. We could see the Australian visitors perform on the bagpipes and sing some famous Australian songs.

Our Japanese students made special gift boards called "Shikishi" for the visitors. They were presented at the end and then we took group photos in the classroom.

The visitors are given a chance to experience a cultural element of Japan after regular classes. This year we spent an hour after classes trying out the Tea ceremony.

Nakamura Sensei and several members of the club introduced us to the interesting world of Sado (the way of the tea ceremony). Thank you. It was delicious!
