Japanese Student Visit
Fairhills High School is once again hosting our yearly visit by Japanese students from the youth organisation KSKK. We have been involved in this exchange for over 40 years.
The students arrived on a cold rainy Sunday morning. However, that didn’t dampen their excitement to start their jam-packed program. They met host families, and on Monday began their first school day by meeting with our Principal Mr. Van Schie. This meeting was accompanied by Tim Tam tasting; a very necessary Australian custom. They then met their school buddies, and spent the day in classes.
The Japanese students and their buddies enjoyed a welcome lunch together; a time to get to know each other better as well as enjoy some yummy food.
On Tuesday the Japanese students did a tour of the stunning Mornington Peninsula. The view from Arthurs Seat was spectacular, and they visited the beach suburbs of Sorrento and Dromana.
We thank the host families and student buddies for their major contribution to this program, and for our staff welcoming them into their classrooms. A huge thank you goes out to Ma sensei who stepped in at the very last moment to replace Winstone sensei.
