At ten days, you will then leave
But memories stay
Every year, Sullivan Heights' students are given the opportunity to host and entertain Japanese students for 10 days. Students who signed up in the office had the opportunity to then bring them to their third and fourth blocks, and show them what Canadian schools look and function like.
This year we got students from Niigata Meikun, a high school located in the Niigata prefecture in Japan. They arrived on the morning of October 12th and stayed until the 23rd. During that time, they did many activities such as a tour of our school neighbourhood, hockey, and the Haunted House! As per tradition here at Sulli, they then held a cultural fair for Sullivan's students to participate in Japanese games and win prizes from Japan.
Here are some students with their Japanese buddies!
The Niigata prefecture is famous for its high quality rice and watermelon crops, firework displays in summer, as well as the many all-year events that take place for locals and tourists alike!
Did you participate in the cultural fair? What did you do? If you didn't, would you have liked to? Comment below and tell us what you think!
