Senior Japanese Excursion: Consulate-General Of Japan | Japanese Supermarket | Traditional Japanese Lunch | J-Pop Karaoke @ Brisbane CBD

Konnichiwa!

Last Friday, our Years 11 and 12 Japanese Language classes enjoyed a fantastic time on our Senior Japanese Excursion.

We visited the Consulate-General of Japan in Brisbane City and learned about future pathways, exchange programs and scholarship opportunities.

It was inspiring to discover the endless possibilities of mastering the Japanese language.

We also had the opportunity to explore a Japanese supermarket, immersing ourselves in a world of authentic products and cultural treasures.

From snacks and drinks to unique ingredients and artefacts, the vibrant Genki Mart gave us a taste of daily life in Japan.

To satisfy our appetites, we enjoyed a traditional Japanese lunch together and savoured the authentic flavours of Japan.

And, of course, we couldn’t miss the chance to experience Japanese pop-culture Karaoke!

We sang our hearts out, unleashing our inner J-pop stars and creating unforgettable memories.

Arigatou Gozaimasu for joining us on this incredible journey!

Let’s continue to embrace the beauty of the Japanese language and culture together...

The FUSE Cup | Mario Kart Grand Final WINNERS!

️ eSports Mario Kart Captain, Alexander Sayers, was our last Canterbury student still in the game for The Fuse Cup Grand Finals!

During a nail-biting final lap, the thumbstick grip was pushed to its limit, with Canterbury holding a steady second place.

The game turned when triple red turtle shells were dispensed, and a great triumph for our Canterbury Mario Kart Team, as Alexander crossed the finish line in first place!

Well done to everyone from all the different South-East Queensland schools who participated in this awesome Grand Final.

Years 11 & 12 Hospitality Hotel School Program At Sea World Resort

Years 11 & 12 Hospitality Hotel School Program At Sea World Resort

Our Years 11 and 12 Hospitality students have completed their 2-night, 3-day Hotel School Program at the Sea World Resort on the Gold Coast. ️✅

As part of this experience, students participated in many ‘shifts’, working in various areas and departments of the resort.

This ‘real world’ experience exposes students to the many jobs - besides kitchen and restaurant work, that Hospitality incorporates.

Despite all the fantastic learning, the consensus is that the buffet breakfast was still their favourite part!

Today's Under Eights Day was full of fun activities to celebrate this year's theme: Play – You, Me & Our Communities.

We had our local Fire and Police services sharing some valuable information for our students.

Old MacDonald's Farm brought cuteness overload with a petting zoo.

There were also dress-ups, face painting, storytime, an obstacle course, constructing recyclables, crafts, and much more to keep everyone entertained. ️

Our students were also thrilled to watch a circus performance in our CEC with talented performers showcasing astonishing stunts and amazing the audience. ️

Wrapping up their exciting day was a good ol' fashioned disco, where our Prep to Year 2 students danced the school day away with the Macarena, rock-style air guitar and a long line of limbo.

What a day!
