It is such a privilege to represent St Stephens as an Exchange Teacher in Japan.  I will be heading off to Tokyo in October where I will get the opportunity to teach in a Japanese secondary school and collaborate with Japanese teachers. Another important task would be to learn some of the culture and hopefully some of the language too.   I will be visiting some visiting some iconic Japanese places.

This is a wonderful opportunity for me to engage my students in this cultural connection and I plan to do this by using my blog.  I would welcome parents and students to be a part of this journey with me by logging onto my St Stephens Japanese Exchange blog where I will be sharing my stories, daily interactions, photos and fun features.

I look forward to this opportunity and hope that you will enjoy this journey with me.
