Alex Herd, Justin Prescott and George Mason travelled to Jissen Gakuen – Sister City Tokyo Japan in February this year as recipients of the OTA Scholarship along with Maisie Ferguson and Emily Preece from MGC.

“Getting the feedback from our boys is just glowing, and with geographical isolation that we've got here in Blenheim we’re lucky to send students over to fully immerse in Japanese culture with our friends at Jissen Gakuen” - Principal Jarrod Dunn.

“It brings a richness to our schools in terms of what the world is about, building understanding between different cultures, learning about other people in different environments is hugely important…” Marlborough Girls’ College Principal Mary-Jeanne Lynch.

Mr Oki – JG Principal was delighted when our students performed an impromptu MBC Haka for him as he would not be present at the Sayonara.
