Fujimigaoka High School Incursion – Japanese

 On 12 June, Santa Sabina’s Japanese students were given the opportunity to meet students from Fujimigaoka high school as part of a cultural exchange.

The day was a great success in terms of allowing students from both schools to mingle; sharing language, traditions, gifts and learning about each other’s school life. The day’s activities were really interesting to engage with and my peers and I agreed about how special it was to be able to learn from the Japanese students to help expand our vocabulary. Furthermore, being able to reciprocate by helping them expand their English skills was enjoyable and reminded us of how beneficial learning a new language can be.

Meeting the students of Fujimigaoka was an amazing experience which enhanced my understanding of Japanese culture and inspired me to continue to pursue the language.
