Cultural Experiences

Sundai Kofu High School Cultural Exchange Program

On Tuesday 12 March, Endeavour College welcomed 16 students from our sister school in Japan, Sundai Kofu High School. During the two weeks that the students were here they enjoyed a range of activities including excursions to the city centre, Gorge Wildlife Park and Melba’s chocolate factory. Whilst at school, the Sundai Kofu students developed their English communication skills through attending ESL lessons with Mr Alex Kropf and they also had the opportunity to attend a wide range of lessons with their hosts.

Perhaps the most valuable part of the short term exchange is to witness the authentic connections that develop between the Sundai Kofu students, Endeavour College students, host families and the wider school community. The visit was such a positive experience for all involved and it certainly helped to reinforce the wonderful relationship that Endeavour College has developed with Sundai Kofu over the past three years. We look forward to visiting Sundai Kofu once again in July during the biennial Japan Study Tour.
