Morioka Chuo HS Study Tour
Do you have one or two spare rooms? Would you like to share South Australian life with a Japanese student? We are recruiting new host families to participate in the next Japanese Study Tour arriving from Saturday 11 March through to Saturday 18 March 2023. During this time they will experience Australian school and family life and participate in excursions and school activities. As some students would have not visited Australia before it gives them a chance to learn a different culture, practice their English skills and live the Australian life for the duration of their visit.
Study Tour students stay with accredited host families which are organised through the school. The students are usually between 15 and 17 years of age and are matched to a host family by looking at their hobbies and interests. A financial payment is offered to cover some living costs of approximately $300.00 per week.
Please contact sarah.johnson917@schools.sa.edu.au for more information on how to apply and for an application pack.
Here is a testimonial from a home stay family:
‘We have been hosting international students for the past 3 years and it has been an amazing experience for everyone in the family. We found that hosting has brought us together as a family and we feel our family has grown substantially with members all over the world. For anyone thinking of hosting we say “Give it a go”, you will not regret it. It is such a wonderful experience and it will enrich your lives’. The Siemensma family
International Ambassador Program
With our International Program growing we are looking at increasing our International Ambassador’s list of students. International Ambassadors are paired up with International students as buddies to assist on their first day and be peer support where needed.
If you are a student at Aberfoyle Park High School and would like to apply to be an International Ambassador please contact kate.lonergan736@schools.sa.edu.au the International Student Program Manager.
