Japanese Students—Australian Schooling Experience
Over the last week, we were delighted to welcome 41 students and 2 teachers from Sangyou Kyoto University High School in Japan for a special week of cultural exchange and shared learning.
The students joined us to experience Australian schooling firsthand—getting a feel for life in our classrooms and our everyday rhythms here at Staines. Throughout their visit, their tutor set them tasks designed to help them explore Australian culture, practise their English conversation skills, and also share aspects of Japanese culture with us.
We had a fantastic time together! The students taught our classes the art of origami, experienced some of Australia’s native wildlife thanks to our special guests from Wild Rangers, challenged our Secondary students to a friendly basketball match, and got right into the spirit of Harmony Day by joining in a lively tug of war. We are so thankful for this time together—it’s been a week to remember!
