Japanese Speech Contest

This year, Pacific held its first Japanese Speech Contest as part of the Foundation Council Cup. Sixty students across three divisions auditioned for a place in the final. The finals coincided with the Seishin Gakuen visit and gave our students the opportunity to showcase their Japanese language skills to the Seishin teachers. The teachers were very impressed with the level of Japanese spoken and look forward to seeing many of our students in Japan on a future trip.
