Year 8 Japanese
This year, all Year 8 students have started their journey of learning Japanese and are working their way through the Hiragana Belt System with the ultimate goal of earning their black belt.
The Hiragana Belt System offers an exciting and structured approach to learning the Japanese writing system. Gamifying the process and breaking it down into manageable steps helps students stay engaged, motivated, and on track. Whether they are just beginning or revisiting Hiragana, this system makes mastering the basics of Japanese writing both achievable and fun.
So, Year 8 students—roll up your sleeves, earn those belts, and keep progressing toward your Hiragana black belt and the prize of Hi-Chew!
Congratulations to Hannah Woods, Harrison Mackay, Nate Stephenson, and Bella Blair who have all achieved their black belt throughout Term 1 - very impressive!
