Japanese Seien Girls High School Visit
On Friday last week 29 Japanese exchange students from Seien Girls High School visited the College for a day. The students are only in Australia for a week and as part of their tour they came to St Patrick’s College to interact with students and to practice their English.
After a tour of the College Year 10 students sang the College Song with the students and did some Aboriginal pebble art. The Seien students then did a presentation about their school life in Japan, Japanese culture and played games, calligraphy and origami activities.
The day went so quickly and even though it was such a short amount of time, the girls developed some great friendships and exchanged contact details.
For the Year 10 Japanese Elective class this was a great opportunity to practice their Japanese. I would like to thank all the Year 10 student helpers on this day. Their hospitality, warmth and behaviour left a great impression on the students and teachers from Seien Girls High School.
