3. Actor Mr. Rob Houchen Workshop @ HIS

  • Tuesday, March 28 
  • Mr. Rob Houchen starred as Marius, Les Miserables in London, West End. 
  • Parents are invited to attend the Finale scene from 2:45pm in the Gym.

I would like to thank Robert Scott, Hiroshima resident, for making this event possible.


4. See Rob Houchen in Hiroshima – subsidizing his visit to HIS

Fresh from the West End stage, having appeared from 2013-2016 in the role of “Marius” nearly 1000 times in Les Miserables, here is your chance to attend a live event here in Hiroshima from a true London West End Star. Rob will be performing 2 live events on 25th and 26th Marchat Baker Street/Oasis Bar from 18:00. Tickets are 4,000 yen per person. With a maximum capacity of 50 people you will be able to hear Rob perform 2 sets of 40 minutes each night with songs from Les Miserables and other shows in a unique setting which is normally impossible to see here in Hiroshima. Rob’s visit to HIS is subsidized by Baker Street/ Oasis bar and any support from parents attending would be appreciated as these opportunities are very rare for students and parents alike.

You can see more information about the event here: https://www.facebook.com/Baker-Street-370394516644652/ (event information is mostly in Japanese) Here’s a sample of Rob’s original work also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKcHbFitPAM&app=desktop

To reserve tickets simply send a message to the organizers on the Facebook page above.


5. Comenius College visit from the Netherlands

From March 31-6 April, we will be hosting six students from Comenius College (Netherlands) and their teachers. The students and teachers speak English and they are coming to Hiroshima to carry out independent research. Students are ages 16-17 years old. They will be spending time at HIS and out and about doing fieldwork. Five HIS families have volunteered to host them while they are here, and we would like to express our deep appreciation to you for hosting a student. We hope that this becomes a partnership between the two schools so that HIS students can have a similar experience in the Netherlands in the future!
