Year 8 Japanese Tanzaku Contest

In Term 2 Weeks 9-10, our Year 8 Japanese course students had the opportunity to celebrate the Star Festival by decorating their bamboo trees with wish papers and origami papers.

This year, we participated in the Tanzaku Contest 2024 which was organised by the Japanese Teachers’ Association of NSW (JTAN) . We won the school award for our beautiful and fantastic Tanabata decorations and creative Tanzaku papers this year. Winning the Tanzaku Contest is a testament to their dedication and talent. Students worked collaboratively to create beautiful Tanzaku, expressing their hopes and wishes in Japanese. We witnessed incredible creativity in every piece submitted.

We hope to see all our students have a happy academic journey with Japanese ahead.
