Fish and Chips at the Beach

Multi Ethnic Parade

Multi Ethnic Extravaganza

On Saturday, the students went on a parade through town in their traditional dress and waving their flags. They had fun and looked great :) Here is Arisa to tell you more about it:

This day, me and my Japanese friends were wearing Yukata. It was hard to wear by myself. We walked up Devon Street for 20 minutes. There were so many people watching us. After this parade we rode on buses and went to Racecourse. There so many food carts so I ate many things. I was happy that I could eat bubble tea  after a long absence. I was really happy this day. 

Welcome Pool Party

All our Internationals had a wonderful time at a host family pool party. Huge thank you to the Larsen family.
