Host a Japanese Student – Cultural Exchange Opportunity

Next term, St Andrews College will host 20 Japanese students from our sister school, Isahaya Commercial High School, for 11 nights from 18 August to 29 August 2025. This is a fantastic opportunity for families to share their home and lifestyle while experiencing another culture.

Students will attend school on weekdays and enjoy family life with their hosts on weekends. No Japanese language skills are required, as students will easily integrate into your family routines. Each student needs their own bed but may share a room. Host families will receive $55 per night.

We always receive positive feedback from families who host, finding the experience rewarding and enriching for everyone involved.

If you're interested in hosting a student or would like more information, please contact Ms Suzuki at msuzuki@parra.catholic.edu.au or VS Oceania at ushinohama@vsoceania.com.

Thank you for your support!
