Our Japanese students began the day at Miyajima, admiring the iconic floating torii gate up close at low tide. From there, we travelled to Hiroshima, visiting the A-Bomb Dome and the Peace Memorial Museum, reflecting on the importance of peace and reconciliation. At the Peace Park, we took part in a deeply moving experience, offering 1,000 folded paper cranes at Sadako’s statue, a symbol of peace and hope for children worldwide. We were excited to buy our first konbini lunch before the excitement of a bullet train ride to Okayama.

As is the tradition in a ryokan, we all wore yukata on the premises. There were so many different dishes presented beautifully. Student favourites were sukiyaki and tempura. Local delicacies included oysters and anago (conger eel).

After an overnight flight to Tokyo and a connecting flight to Hiroshima, our Japanese students made their way by bus and ferry to the beautiful island of Miyajima. Famous for its “floating” torii gate, Miyajima is considered one of the most scenic places in Japan and has long been a site of spiritual significance. We are staying in a traditional ryokan, where tatami rooms and futon beds give us a true taste of Japanese culture. Today’s challenge was to take a selfie with a deer! We ate the local specialty, okonomiyaki for lunch, and tonight, we will enjoy a multi-course kaiseki dinner, with seasonal dishes beautifully prepared and presented.

Today the Caroline Chisholm Community celebrated jersey day. Student's came to school in their team colours to support and raise awareness for organ and tissue donation. Jersey Day was inspired by the gift of life that Nathan Gremmo gave to six people when he became an organ donor at age 13. Jersey day aims to encourage people to begin the conversation with their family and friends about the importance of becoming an organ and tissue donor.

The results are in - and we are delighted and proud to announce that our Year 10 team has achieved 2nd place in this year’s Australian Catholic University VOYSE Social Enterprise Challenge! Over the course of the 8-week program, our students showed outstanding dedication, creativity, determination and passion as they developed and pitched their innovative social enterprise idea: One Stop Swap. This unique initiative, designed to give used items a second life, certainly caught the judges' eyes! Working within a tight timeframe, the team collaborated to research, design and present their concept to the VOYSE judging panel, impressing with their professionalism and innovative thinking. The panel will also be providing detailed feedback, celebrating the team’s strengths while offering constructive advice, to support the further development of One Stop Swap. Their 2nd place finish is an extraordinary achievement and a testament to their teamwork and entrepreneurial spirit. We are also very grateful to their mentors Adjoa Assan, Vika Pinomi and Lucy Sattler. We are incredibly impressed with the students' efforts and excited to see how they continue to build upon their idea within our community. Congratulations to these talented students on this fantastic result and also to the other finalists: St Agnes Catholic High School, Patrician Brothers' College, Blacktown and Mountain View Adventist College.
