75 students competed in the Primary Japanese Speech Contest at the end of Term 2. Students had to memorise individual and pair speeches and present without the aid of notes. All students made a tremendous effort to do this, making the judges' task very difficult. We would like to thank guest judges, Risa Meddings, Alex Campbell, Maddie Dodd and Libby Gallagher. Also a huge thank you to Keiko-sensei and Noriaki-san for all the organisational work.
The beautiful decorations were made by the primary Japanese students. They are koi carp which are used for koinobori decorations for Children's Day in May in Japan.
Note - If students would like a copy of their speech and photos they can bring Keiko-Sensei a USB and she can copy them.
