Japanese Homestay

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We have been hosting groups of students from our sister school in Japan, Chosei High School for many years. The school is located in Chiba Prefecture, about two hours east of Tokyo by train.

This year, 20 Chosei students will be visiting Nossal in August. They are excited to experience everyday life in Australia. During their stay, homestay families are welcome to take their Japanese student on special outings if they wish, but simply including them in normal family activities is also very meaningful. The students are particularly interested in experiencing Australia’s multicultural lifestyle, which is different from their experience in Japan.

Homestay Details:
