In February,
the SLC sent out its 2003 school update forms and teaching material
donation request forms to more than 2000 schools in its database.
However, only 539 schools have returned their forms to the SLC as
of April 30th. If you have not yet sent them in, please check our
website: www.jpf.org.au and do so now, otherwise you will not be eligible
to request donation materials for your school.
Teachers who requested any donation materials should receive them
by the end of June. Some Activity Resources are also available on
our website. Please take the time to browse through the teaching ideas
provided by some teachers who have attended seminars here at the SLC. |

Last year in mid-December, His Imperial Highness Crown Prince Naruhito
(皇太子様)
and Her Imperial Highness Crown Princess Masako (雅子様)
visited Sydney and Canberra in Australia, and New Zealand as part
of an official weeklong visit.
In Sydney, 皇太子様
and 雅子様
visited Northbridge Primary School to observe a Japanese language
class, team-taught by Ms Yukari Doi and Mr Takashi Ogawa. The photos
show how their Imperial Highnesses enjoyed speaking to the students,
who presented them with a bouquet and a small toy wombat for their
daughter, Princess Aiko. The visit became a day to remember for all
students at Northbridge Primary School.

My name
is Kazuko Nagai. I have been working as the Japanese language
advisor for Western Australia since April. In 2000, when I was
in Surabaya, Indonesia, I travelled to Perth and was very impressed
by its beauty.
Ever since, I had been hoping to visit the place again. Now
my dream has come true. I am very happy to work with you here
in Western Australia. I am eager to learn about your customs
and ways of living and I would particularly appreciate it if
someone would show me a nice spot to paint, as my hobby is watercolour
painting. |

はじめまして
The changing of the seasons in Japan brings colourful plum and
cherry blossoms. Here in Australia, it brings a new editor.
I have recently returned from working in the Japanese countryside,
where I was able to put into practice the language skills which
I acquired through Japanese study at high school and university
in Australia. Having been a student of Japanese language teachers
such as yourselves, I am now very pleased to be working with
you to further Japanese language education amongst the students
of today.
I do hope that you will find some value in every issue of Dear
Sensei. If you have any suggestions or contributions,
please feel free to contact me through the
Sydney Language Centre.
みなさま、どうぞよろしくおねがいします。

Program Coordinator, Japan Foundation Sydney Language Centre
