Language leads to friendship
Wenona this week welcomed Japanese schoolgirls from several schools in Nagoya who were touring its sister-city, Sydney.
The 10 Japanese visitors, aged 16-18, were paired with Wenona Years 10 and 11 girls studying Japanese, to experience a day in the life of an Ä¢¹½´«Ã½n student. Both sets of girls used their language skills to find out more about life and trends in each other’s cities and to make friends.
A former Wenonian, Ms Marisa Tagami, (2006), who now works as a tour organiser for Japan Local Government Centre, Sydney (CLAIR), accompanied the girls, along with English teacher Mr Hiroki Ishihara.
