TEN Japanese secondary school students from Takahama City, Japan, yesterday visited Berakas Secondary School (SMB) for their four-day educational visit programme.
Upon arrival, the students were ushered to the school’s conference room to attend a brief talk on the historical background and academic programme of the school, delivered by Deputy Principal (Administration) Johnny Lim and Deputy Principal (Academic) Zaliha binti Metussin.
The Japanese students were also given the opportunity to tour the school premises. On Monday, the students will participate in classroom immersion, participating with local students and learn how Brunei schools differ from theirs.
Throughout their visit, various activities have been planned for the Japanese students which include taking part in Brunei traditional games; getting the opportunity to witness one of the traditional practices of a Brunei Malay wedding ‘Majlis Berbadak’, which will be re-enacted by the local students; tasting one of Brunei’s traditional food Ambuyat and witnessing Brunei traditional dances performed by the students as well as other activities and performances.
In return, the Japanese students will also showcase their culture through several activities and performances. Throughout their stay in Brunei, the students are staying in the homes of their respective host families.
Among the objectives of the visit is to provide learning experiences for the participating students as well as to expose the Japanese students to a wide variety of aspects of Brunei culture and vice versa.
