Consider integrating this annual essay contest into your school's teaching and learning programs. It is a great example of learning across the curriculum and could be an opportunity for cross-curricular involvement with English teaching colleagues. Some schools encourage all students to complete an essay and have a school competition to judge the entries to be submitted. This year the essay topics were: Junior Division (Years 7 and 8): Japan is becoming a popular tourist destination for more and more Australians. For example, many Australians enjoy visiting Japan during the winter months for skiing and snowboarding; “Kumano kodou” in Wakayama prefecture is a famous pilgrimage route; and “Edo Wonderland” in Tochigi prefecture is a popular venue for school trips. What advice can you give to enhance Japan to be a friendlier environment for tourists from Australia? Senior Division (Years 9-12): Japan is due to host the Rugby World Cup in 2019 and the Olympic Games in 2020. What are some of the lessons Japan can learn from Australia’s own hosting of these major sporting events, to lead to the success of the 2019 Rugby World Cup and the 2020 Olympic Games? The deadline for online entry submissions for Art Speaks Japanese Comes Alive! student art contest is in two weeks.
Entries must be submitted online via the Art Speaks Japanese contest website by Wednesday 30 August 2017. For further enquiries, please email coordinators@jpf.org.au.

There will be many activities to participate in during lunch time, such as costumes and furoshiki wrapping. All students will receive a certificate and participation prize. The 1st and 2nd prize winners from high school division (except for Wakaba division) will progress to the National Contest to be held on Saturday 7 October in Sydney.
