Japanese Elective Language Excursion
On 12 March, Year 10 Japanese Elective and Year 12 Japanese Beginners students travelled to Kirrawee High School to visit the Nihongo Tanken Centre. It is a Japanese Language Centre which provides a stimulating and authentic Japanese environment where students can use and further develop their Japanese language skills.
The Centre is a Japanese-style building and garden with the “look and feel” of Japan. Students and teachers are immersed in Japanese language and culture through innovative learning programs.
This was a perfect opportunity for the St Patrick's students to practise what they had learnt in class and, with the Year 12 HSC speaking exams soon approaching, it was a very valuable experience for the Year 12 Beginners students.
The students are to be congratulated on their efforts and we look forward to other opportunities this year in the Languages Department for students to practise their language skills.
