Students from Hiyoshigaoka High School had fun pontoon boating on the Noosa River today.
There was no stopping for the boys: in they jumped despite the rather brownish colour of the water after all the rain. The girls just got one leg wet but all had a go at steering the boat. Well done everyone!
Hiyoshigaoka students visited Noosa District High School in Pomona today.
Sensei Mick gave a tour of the surroundings and introduced his students. Our Japanese visitors gave wonderful presentations on Japanese culture and showed off their amazing English language skills. The Australian students taught them drama games and involved them in circle discussions. It was a great day for everyone.
Experiencing school in Australia close to nature and looking for …… and finding the Kangaroos hidden in the bushes! Part of school life at Noosa District State School!
Hiyoshigaoka HS visited the famous Steve Irwin Australia Zoo this week!
It was a jam-packed day interacting with animals from all over the world including the new African section with giraffes, cheetahs and more! They also got to meet and cuddle Koalas, Kangaroos and many other native Australian animals. Looks like they had an amazing time! Crikey!
Hiyoshigaoka students were out and about today making the most of a break in the rain.
The local supermarket was a welcome change to the classroom at Coco Bay resort and students were busy answering Quiz questions and talking to local customers.
Back in the classroom we had a real hands-on-lesson: Student Master chefs created Scones, Anzac Biscuits, Lamingtons and Cupcakes for an All Australian Afternoon Tea. Teachers Mayuka and Shinji acted as judges! The verdict: “Yuuuuummyyyy!!!!
Chiyoda HS students had a birthday party to celebrate their classmates who were born in March.
There was chocolate cake, tim-tams, lamingtons, shapes and chips to celebrate a traditional Australian birthday. As you can see from the pictures, the Chiyoda HS students seemed to enjoy the party!
Chiyoda students teamed up for some WII bowling fun today.
Each team had to think of an English word to call their team. We had the Kangaroos, WII Masters, Tiger and Tiger 2. After some spares and awesome strikes… it was looking like Tigers had eaten up the competition. That is till the very last throw when Tiger 2 striked three times to win by only 2 points! Now it was the Tiger 2 team against each other. Whoever got the first strike out of Koshin, Takashi and Koki would win the competition and a free surf lesson. Congratulations to Takashi who struck a strike on the first throw!
Kindai HS students went for a leisurely boardwalk stroll from Lexis English Noosa to Noosa River mouth and back.
The students were very keen to meet locals and tourists visiting Noosa. As you can see from the photos below, they are anything but shy when it comes to social situations and making new friends. I’m sure the boys will go home with some very interesting pictures to show their friends and family!
