Abigail Easton (Y...ear 12) Overall, the Zoom meeting with the Nichidai students was an incredibly fun and enjoyable experience. Since we couldnt meet in person, it was a great to connect with Japanese students our age and learn more about each other, and Ive made a great friend who I hope to keep in contact with! Raya Malabanan (Year 9) Meeting my Nichidai buddy was an awesome experience, we gave them a tour of Grace Lutheran College, and they told me more about Japan and their school. It was really cool because we found out we have similar likes in anime and food. Great works students! #gritgrowthgrace
