Middle College Japanese Speech Contest
Middle College Japanese Speech Contest
In Week 5, Pacific held its annual Japanese Speech Contest. Students were judged on the content of their speech, fluency in pronunciation, appropriate cultural gestures and their ability to answer questions in Japanese. The standard from all participating students was very high.
This year, Mayumi Katayama and Akito Iwase, our two inbound exchange students from Seishin, joined the Japanese Department to judge the speeches. We are very pleased to announce the following results:
Year 6-7
- 1st place – Sierra Lauritzen
- 2nd place – Catalina Stylianou
- 3rd place – Christian Schlotterbach
- Highly commended – Jasmin Groves
Year 8-9
- 1st place – Tanushi Nath
- 2nd place – Ellie Dixon
We also acknowledge our other Middle College participants Caitlin Moffitt and Eliza Bryan. Well done to everyone!
