Japanese Trips

Every year Mrs Rajakumar organises a homestay trip to Japan with the help of the Nagano International Friendship Club, for those of us studying Japanese in year 11 or above. The aim of these trips is to improve our Japanese ability, and strengthen the links between South Wolds and our partner schools in Japan.


2011

2011 started with a most extraordinary week-long exchange in conjunction with Bury St Edmunds County Upper School with Japanese students at Konan Lycee in Tours, France.
