Celebrating Japanese Culture:  A Highlight of Our School Open Night

Our recent School Open Night featured an engaging Japanese exhibition that was well-received by all attendees.  The exhibition offered a variety of activities that highlighted Japanese culture, expertly facilitated by our talented student helpers.

One of the standout activities was learning to write names in Japanese.  Under the guidance of our skilled student helpers, participants used traditional Japanese brushes to practice calligraphy.  

Origami, the art of paper folding, was also popular.  Our student helpers demonstrated their expertise by teaching visitors how to create intricate origami figures, including ninja stars.  The fun continued as students tested their aim by throwing their origami ninja stars at a target.

Traditional Japanese games were also a hit with the visitors.  Kendama, a classic Japanese skill toy, was a particular favorite. Our student helpers showcased their impressive kendama skills, inspiring visitors to try their hand at the game.

Throughout the exhibition, our student helpers shone as wonderful ambassadors for our school.  Their dedication, enthusiasm, and impressive skills were evident in every activity.  They not only shared their knowledge of Japanese culture but also demonstrated the values of teamwork and leadership.

We are incredibly proud of our student helpers and grateful for their contributions to the Japanese exhibition.  Thank you to our student helpers:  Abbey Langford, Elitia Tran, Michael Sharkey, Michael Miller, Riley Borg, Sienna Johnstone, Xavier Leonard
