In 2020, our Japanese students enjoyed many interesting cultural and learning experiences.

This year is the first in which Year 8 students were able to choose to study Japanese for the entire year. The Year 8 program allowed for many cultural as well as language experiences. As a part of our food unit, we went into the kitchen as cooked up some okonomiyaki (Japanese pancakes). We all enjoyed eating our delicious savoury pancakes, washed down with some ramune (Japanese soft drink).

Several of our Senior students participated in the JCU Holiday Language Program in the June/ July holidays. This one week intensive course was moved online this year and was an enjoyable way for our students to revise their grammar and vocabulary.

Our Senior students also practiced their Kanji writing skills with some traditional Japanese Calligraphy.

Several students participated in the EP MLTAQ Speaking Competition online this year. These students competed against students throughout Australia and did an excellent job!
