Melville Intermediate - Makuhari Cultural Exchange

BubbleShare: Share photos - Easy Photo Sharing



Currently at Melville Intermediate School we are taking part in a cultural exchange with Makuhari School in Japan. Students arrived in New Zealand on Saturday and later in the year a school trip from Melville Intermediate will be venturing to Japan. Room 8 has two guests at the moment with our class Yuhi and Kazutoshi.
Today we had a powhiri to welcome them officially to our school.

Yuhi wrote this about his first impressions of Melville Intermediate:
"You gave me a good first impression that you are cheerful and friendly. No matter where I am in this school. Students speak to me about anything."

Kazutoshi wrote that "My first impression is this is a large school. I think I am very envious especially the large ground is very beautiful, the students can be very active. I think the students are very kind and friendly. Japanese students don't say "Hello!" if each of them haven't met"

  2. That is interesting that student's don't say "hello" unless they know each other. I will be curious to read the impressions of the Japanese visit from the New Zealand group.
