ニュージーランドの姉妹校から留学生4名と教員1名が今年も実践学園にやってきました！約2週間、実践学園で学校生活を送り、本校生徒宅でホームステイを行います。留学生にとっても本校の生徒にとってもいい経験となることを期待しています！留学生の様子を写真で紹介します。
Two boys and two girls came to Jissen Gakuen from New Zealand with an exchange teacher to experience a Jissen school life and homestay. They are from Marlborough Boys’ College and Girls’ College, which are Jissen Gakuen’s sister schools in New Zealand. Both of the NZ students and Jissen students are expected to learn a lot from each other. Here in the website I’m going to show you some of their photos before they go back to New Zealand.

Today the New Zealand students joined Civics, Japanese, and English classes. They had a great time interacting with students, talking about New Zealand and Japan, and making new friends! Today they learned how to play Bouzumekuri, a traditional Japanese card game, with a middle school class. After today’s acitivites the New Zealand students are excited for next week!

The New Zealand students joined various classes and activities today such as Cooking, English, PE, Karate, Japanese calligraphy, History, Math, Science, and tea ceremony. They had the opportunity to make takoyaki with the cooking club, test out their karate skills, and for the very first time try their hand at Japanese calligraphy. They also got to participate in a real Japanese tea ceremony with the tea ceremony club after school. They are looking forward to tomorrow’s new experiences!

今日が実践学園での研修最終日。さよならパーティーで研修修了書が授与されました。
Today was the New Zealand students’ final day at Jissen Gakuen. Their week long stay with us ended in a heartfelt closing ceremony that echoed the international cross cultural exchange this programme embodies. During the ceremony both the Jissen and New Zealand students performed traditional songs and dances representative of their respective cultures. Jissen students also sang the New Zealand national anthem. Everyone was sad to see the New Zealanders go, especially the students they befriended. We all hope that they have a safe journey home and that we can see them in Japan again someday!
