Upper Hutt College students have successfuly competed with other students in the region at the Wellington Japanese Speech Competition. Japanese teacher Nobuko Watanabe shares about the successful event.

Our Year 10 girls did an amazing job with Anastasia Stone winning a special prize! Michelle Law also presented a well polished speech.  

The competition was very tough. Some juniors from other schools presented to the level expected of seniors, to the point that the University of Victoria students were beaten by the juniors of the winning schools.

Japanese teacher Nobuko Watanabe was very happy how our students performed in the pressure.

"Our students should be congratulated for their efforts - they made us really proud".
