Japanese Cultural Experience

Experience the World from Your Home!

Dear Parents and Carers

Since 2013, St Mary's has cherished a special bond with our sister school, Keika Girls' High School in Japan. Now, it's that time of the year again – we're thrilled to announce the arrival of our 11-day Educational and Cultural Enrichment Tour of the Illawarra!

As part of this immersive experience, we're seeking enthusiastic families to become Billeting Hosts. By opening your hearts and homes to a delightful Japanese student, you'll embark on a journey of cultural exchange and friendship that lasts a lifetime.

Dates: Monday, 22 July to Friday, 2 August.

Ready to be part of this enriching experience? Express your interest by completing the form via this LINK before Tuesday, 10 June 2024. We'll equip you with all the information and support you need for a seamless and rewarding hosting experience.

Kind regards

Catherine Jeffcoate

Director of Development
