Welcome to Our Sister School Students!

This term, we are excited to welcome two students from our sister school, Isahaya Commercial High School in Japan. They arrived in Sydney on 27 July and will stay with us for eight weeks as part of our homestay program, which has been designed by St Andrews College with the help of Isahaya Commercial High School.

Hosting these students gives our school community a great chance to learn about Japanese culture and make new friends. We hope this experience will be enjoyable and educational for everyone involved.

We are also pleased to offer our students the opportunity to participate in a similar exchange program. Students enrolled in our elective Japanese course can visit Japan for eight weeks. This program began last year, and we are happy to see it continuing to grow.

Next term, one of our Japanese Continuers course students will travel to Japan. He will stay at Isahaya Commercial High School until 2 February 2025. We are sure this will be a fantastic experience for him to learn more about the Japanese language and culture.

Programs like these help enrich our students’ learning and strengthen our sister school's relationship with Isahaya Commercial High School. We look forward to continuing this exchange in the future and offering more students the chance to be part of it.

Let’s make our sister school students feel at home during their stay with us! We hope they have a wonderful experience here in Australia. 

Warm regards,
