Hi, I am a Japanese teacher at Raphael House Rudolf Steiner School in Lower Hutt. I emailed the application form for the Hiragana Competition before 15 Oct and students’ works earlier this month, but I have not received any reply. I am wondering if you have received them. Could you please email me to the above address and let me know whether you got them or not?
Thank you very much for organising this. My students enjoyed that very much.
Kind regards,
Yuko Oshika
