Today, we welcomed students from Takayamumara Junior High School, Japan, for an engaging cultural exchange. The Japanese students range from Years 7 to 9 and are here to experience Australian culture as well as expand their grasp of the English language.
We started the day with an Assembly where the students had the unique opportunity to listen to the mesmerizing sounds of a didgeridoo played by an Elder from the Gandangara Local Aboriginal Land Council. The students and staff also enjoyed watching a game of cricket and watching a boomerang throwing demonstration.
What an honour to have the Mayor of Takayama, Mr Goto visit the College and demonstrate traditional Soba Noodle Making. He had shipped over in advance, a large range of range of specialty soba making equipment and made fresh soba from scratch.
This weekend, our Japanese students will experience home life with their host families, strengthening the connections formed.
