国際交流
関東一高での留学最終日は茶道です。
パース日本祭りでお世話になっているNPO法人喫茶去 Cha Know Youの先生方をお招きして茶道体験を行いました。
Highlandsの生徒達、そして先生方もみんな浴衣を着て準備万端！茶道の心や「結界」について、そしてお茶を点てていただいたり、お互いに和菓子とお茶でおもてなしをしあったりと「和の心」を学びました。それにしてもみんなが浴衣を着ていると華やかですね！
本校でのすべてのプログラムが終わり、乙幡校長から全生徒へCertificateが送られました。1週間という短い間でしたが、様々な側面から日本、そして東京に触れ生徒の皆さんの思い出に残ってもらえたら幸いです。
また会いましょう！
Highlands Christian College Visit (FINAL DAY) 🍵
Our final day with the students from Highlands Christian College was a truly special one, as they experienced one of Japan's most treasured traditions—the Japanese Tea Ceremony. 🍵✨
We were honoured to welcome the instructors from Cha Know You, the NPO organisation that also supports us at the Perth Japan Festival, to lead this cultural experience.
Dressed beautifully in yukata, both the students and teachers were fully immersed in the atmosphere from the very beginning. 👘🌸
They learned about the spirit of the tea ceremony, including the meaning of kekkai (the symbolic boundary that creates a respectful and mindful space). They watched tea being carefully prepared, then took turns serving one another traditional Japanese sweets and matcha, experiencing the true spirit of omotenashi (Japanese hospitality) and Wa, the harmony and respect at the heart of Japanese culture.
Everyone looked wonderful in their yukata, making the tea ceremony even more elegant and memorable. ✨
With this, all of the programmes at Kanto Daiichi High School came to a close. At the closing ceremony, Headmaster Oppata presented each student with a Certificate of Completion in recognition of their participation.
Although it was only one week, we hope our guests experienced many different sides of Japan and Tokyo, creating memories and friendships that will stay with them for years to come.
Thank you for being part of our school community.
See you again soon! 🤝
