Last week the City of Ballarat hosted the annual Japanese Speech Contest with students from Ballarat High School, Loreto College, Mt Clear Secondary College, and St Patrick’s College competing. Congratulations to Matilda, Rosalie and Emma for taking out the top 3 positions. It was wonderful to have the Mayor in attendance and our friends from our Sister City Inagawa joining us online. Big thank you to our 3 judges (Noriko, Yoko and Akira) who volunteered their time on the day.
