Japanese On-line Exchange with Aoyama High School

This year we have started an on-line exchange with students attending Aoyama High School in Tokyo. Students will meet up once a week via a Zoom call organised by the Aoyama English Language Club. This will provide HVHS students with an opportunity to talk with students from Japan in both English and Japanese, and help them develop their English Language Skills. This exchange will continue regularly throughout the year, and senior students have the opportunity to meet in D6 every Thursday lunchtime to practise their Japanese conversation skills for this exchange.
