Year 10 French/Japanese excursions
Year 10 Japanese Excursion
On Friday 22 August, the Year 10 Japanese class went on an excursion into the city. Our excursion involved a fabulous lunch at KuraKura Japanese dining, followed by a shopping trip to DAISO.
We had been anticipating this excursion since the start of the year and it is safe to say it certainly surpassed our expectations! It was not only an enjoyable experience that brought us even closer together in our already quite small class, but it deepened our understanding and respect for Japanese culture. We had three delicious options to choose from for our lunch: Simmered Beef, Karaage Chicken or Chicken Cutlet – All served with salad, takoyaki and miso soup. The staff were incredibly kind, and we cannot express enough how grateful we are that we had the opportunity to experience having lunch at KuraKura dining. Shortly after our lunch, we made our way over to DAISO to purchase all sorts of things; stationery, snacks, drinks, keychains, and other little gadgets that you don’t quite find in your regular shopping centre.
Despite the slightly wet conditions, we all had an unforgettable day filled with delicious food and lots of laughter. This excursion was a wonderful experience that made us appreciate Japanese culture more than we already do.

Year 10 French Excursion
On Friday 22 August, Year 10 French had the opportunity to dine at the Little Snail French cuisine restaurant in Pyrmont. We enjoyed a three-course meal that included a variety of traditional French dishes, including escargot (snails) which we all tried for the first time!
The excursion gave us the opportunity to see how French dining works in real life, including how meals are served and how people enjoy their food. It was a great way to connect what we have been learning in class with real French culture. We were able to experience the language, customs, and atmosphere that are an important part of life in France. It was a memorable experience that gave us the chance to practice our French speaking skills and learn about French culture in a different way together as a group.
