Year 10 Japanese Excursion - A Cultural Adventure

Exploring Japanese Traditions at the Japan Foundation

On Week 4 Tuesday 25 February, the Year 10 Japanese Elective Course students embarked on an exciting excursion to the Japan Foundation, Sydney, immersing themselves in authentic Japanese culture.

The students had the incredible opportunity to learn about traditional Japanese costumes, including home visiting manners, the proper way to wear a Yukata, and the movements of the traditional Tanko Odori dance. This hands-on experience provided them with a deeper appreciation and understanding of Japan’s rich cultural heritage.

During the excursion, students also enjoyed an authentic Japanese Omusubi Obento Box. They had the choice of two delicious omusubi fillings, such as salted grilled salmon, teriyaki chicken, beef shigure (marinated minced beef) and so on. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their obento, making the cultural experience even more memorable.

The students had a fantastic time and left with newfound knowledge and enthusiasm for their Japanese studies.

Stay tuned for more cultural experiences throughout the year!
