“In late September, we had the pleasure of welcoming four exchange students from Toyo High School in Japan: Moeka, Hijiri, Hinano and Marin. They were able to join in our day-to-day life at the College and experience the variety that comes with Australian culture through a homestay experience with students from our school. Hinano, Marin, Moeka and Hijiri also joined our Year 10 Japanese class, which definitely allowed us to have a lot of fun all while learning new things. We were honoured to be able to develop a close connection and friendship with the students and with that, learn about their own culture, home, school life and themselves as people. Our friendship with them definitely helped us develop our own conversational skills in Japanese. Sadly, before we knew it, it was time to say goodbye and they left to go back home on Friday 18 November. It truly was a pleasure to have them all here and we miss them already. It’s great to know that we’ll stay connected as friends and hopefully will be lucky enough to meet again in the future”.
