Beaudesert State High School has a specialised classroom dedicated to our Japanese department.
Our Japanese teacher, Sensei Fenton, has set it up with decorations, posters, books, games, costumes and activities from Japan. When students enter this mini world, they are encouraged to put aside their English and draw on their Japanese, no matter their level.
The lessons are designed to be fun, encouraging students to develop a sense of playful curiosity about the world and cultures beyond their own. When they interact with these objects, students are learning not just about the Japanese language, but about Japanese art, design, cuisine, geography, literature and traditions.
