Australian Olympic Connect Tomodachi 2021 Project
At the end of last term, students studying Japanese as an elective in Years 9 and 10 were given the opportunity to connect with a school in Japan, Nara Ikuei Junior High School. This is part of the Australian Olympic Committee’s project to connect schools in Australia and Japan in the lead up to the Olympic Games.
St Patrick’s College students were able to participate in a ZOOM call with students and introduce themselves in Japanese. The students from Nara Ikuei also introduced themselves, but in English. This is the start of relationship we hope to continue over Semester 2. Students from St Pat's will continue to build a digital profile about themselves in Japanese, so they can share information and use the Japanese they have learnt in the classroom in a real-world situation. We hope it will be the start of a strong friendship between our schools.
