Kyoto! SCCC students were sightseeing titans yesterday, walking about 20000 steps! First stop was the beautiful town of Arashiyama. A walk across the river and a visit to the bamboo grove was followed by a delicious lunch. There were many sweet treats to be tasted including honey bear cakes and strawberry mochi. Next up was a visit to Kinkaku-ji (the golden Buddhist temple and then the magnificent Kyoto Imperial Palace, where both the architecture and the gardens were equally impressive. Last stop was Kiyomizu-dera temple which is part of the UNESCO world heritage site. Here students walked the many steps to the wide viewing platform and could drink from the falls to promote longevity, good health and success in studies. 💙💛🤍🇯🇵![1079941253928892_1098351395421211-1]()

Wednesday was a wonderful day of laughter and collaboration at Hokusan for our SCCC students. Students started the day with a Geography lesson from the school Principal (who gifted SCCC students with the Japanese sweet “Koala’s March”), followed by Level 3 (Year 12) students teaching how to make Makizushi! A beautiful Calligraphy lesson was followed by a fun-filled Music lesson on the koto. The day ended with some more presentations from both schools, culminating in the Nutbush and planning for the USJ visit on Saturday 💙💛🤍🇯🇵

A school tour, a Japanese lesson, lunch in the school cafeteria was followed by students from both SCCC and Hokusan doing presentations. SCCC students taught Hokusan students about Australian places and idioms, and Australian food. Hokusan students got to make mini Harbour Bridges and taste Vegemite for the first time!
