Earlier this term, Year 7 and 8 students learning Japanese, participated in a Japanese cultural incursion to celebrate Languages Week. Students had the opportunity to try their hand at karate, create origami, taste some delicious yakisoba noodles and watch an amazing taiko drumming performance by Taiko On. In addition, students created hachimaki (headbands) which are traditionally worn for sports carnivals or festivals in Japan to celebrate the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. We thank students for their exemplary behaviour and passionately embracing the Japanese culture.
