Bellarine Junior School Japanese Speech Contest
The annual Bellarine Junior School Japanese Speech Contest was held on Friday, 28th July.
This year 47 students from Year 1 to Year 4 participated and demonstrated their outstanding Japanese speaking skills. All the participants impressed the judges and audience with their high standard of Japanese and delivery.
