Japanese Excursion
Our Year 7 and 8 Japanese students enjoyed an excursion to Inakaya Japanese Restaurant in Belrose. The visit provided students with a wonderful opportunity to use their Japanese language skills and enjoy traditional Japanese cuisine like nigiri, tempura, edamame and sashimi. Some students demonstrated impressive chopstick skills while enjoying their meals. The excursion was a great success, offering a meaningful cultural experience and allowing students to connect their classroom learning with authentic Japanese customs and practices.

Spanish Excursion
On Friday 26th June, the Years 7 and 8 Spanish classes travelled to the lovely Lola Cocina in Crows Nest for an authentic experience of the traditional Spanish cuisine tapas. While practicing their Spanish, students shared delicious plates of patatas bravas, ensalada, croquetas, albondigas and empanadas, washed down with unsweetened, non-alcoholic sangria. At the end of our meal, many students had just decided to visit the bathroom when the waiters came up the stairs carrying plates of… churros! What a surprise. Suddenly the students raced back to their tables, all thoughts of the bathroom miraculously forgotten. Gracias Amelia and Rhoda for a wonderful afternoon!

German Excursion
Our Year 7 and 8 language students enjoyed a wonderful treat at the end of last term, with excursions to restaurants celebrating the cultures of the languages they are studying. Our German students travelled to the Munich Brauhaus in The Rocks, where they were welcomed with warm pretzels and refreshing drinks. They then enjoyed a traditional schnitzel for their main course, with some also choosing to sample Käsespätzle , Germany’s delicious answer to macaroni and cheese. To finish, they tucked into a Krapfen (a chocolate filled doughnut) served with ice cream and berry sauce. Adding to the festive atmosphere, the German teacher Elena and accompanying teachers Brendan and Emma, embraced the occasion by dressing in traditional Bavarian/Austrian attire of Dirndls and Lederhosen, making it a memorable cultural experience for everyone involved
