Konnichiwa (Hello!)

Imagine the experience of leaving your country town in Japan, flying 11 hours from your homeland on your first overseas trip, getting off a plane and arriving at the Perth Waldorf School, then trundling your luggage up the gravel path from the bus stop, in the rain, being greeted by friendly Aussie families and, suddenly, clear skies! Students spent two weeks in Perth with host families, experiencing WA and learning English.

Towards the end of their trip, we welcomed the 25 students to Parkerville Steiner College, where they spent time chatting and playing footie with our students; and learning how fast the swing can spin! Our Class 9’s then shared the experience of a Hills Bushwalk – walking from the school, past the resident kangaroos, into John Forrest National Park and Falls Park Waterfall.

A wonderful time was had by all.
