Japan Trip Easter 2009

Once again we travelled to Japan. This time with 18 pupils and 3 staff. We visited Kyoto, Uto, Hiroshima and Miyagima Island.

We travelled on the Shinkansen and after now three visits, saw our first Geisha.

The school were wonderful in Uto City. We once again remain unbeaten at football in Japan, though our skills in flower arranging and Kendo need to be improved before our next visit.

Philips High International Links

Welcome to the new Philips High International partnership blog. This is to help with our links around the world. We currently have links with schools in Japan.

Philips along with our partner school, Sumiyoshi JuniorHigh School has won the British Council Gold award. Three staff and two pupils visited Tokyo in Summer to receive the award, present a workshop to 80 Japanese teachers and then visited Kyushu Island to extend our link further. Pupils and staff from Sumiyoshi Junior High will visit us in March 2009.
