AROUND THE CLASSROOMS ➡ Sushi Making Workshops and Special Visit from the Japanese Consul 🇯🇵🍣 Year 9 and Year 10 students enjoyed a special Japanese cultural experience today, learning how to make their own sushi. A visiting Japanese chef first demonstrated the techniques before students had the opportunity to make their own nori rolls. They selected from a range of ingredients, including crab stick, pickled ginger, carrot, snow peas and cucumber, before carefully wrapping their rolls in nori (dried seaweed). The session was made even more special with a visit from staff of the Consulate-General of Japan in Sydney, who attended to observe the cultural exchange. We were pleased to welcome Mr Daisuke Ujihara, Consul; Mr Satoshi Onishi, Chef of the Official Residence; and Ms Satoko Hiasa, Analyst, Economic Section. Thank you for visiting Catherine McAuley Westmead and sharing this wonderful cultural experience with our students! 🇯🇵

📚 PATHWAYS & PARTNERSHIPS 📚 The Year 10 students in the Western Sydney University Academy U program attended their second engagement with the university, participating in a Sustainability Hackathon. Following is a reflection by Lilly G, one of our Academy U students: 'The Academy U Sustainable Hackathon was an amazing day in which we collaborated with other schools to propose an initiative which answers the call to sustainability, addressing the United Nations SDG number 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities. We developed skills of critical thinking and teamwork collaboration which will be very beneficial in our future Academy U journey. It was an awesome day and I highly recommend it!'
