Toyama Chubu High School – Online chat             

In March next year, we will once again be visited by Toyama Chubu High School. Pre-COVID, they visited annually for a week to develop links between Japanese and Australian students through the study of our local environment. The Toyama students will take part in action research and field studies while in Coffs Harbour.

As a lead up to their visit, Year 8 students were able to interact with the students and learn about Toyama and also the school.

Exchange Students return

Over the past 3 months, 5 of our Year 10 students (Tobie Dugdale, Harrison White, Lana Wirth Amy Wise and Lily Wise) have been immersing themselves in the Japanese way of life at our sister school, Reitaku Mizunami High School in Gifu.

These 5 students had a wonderful time and arrived home last week to be greeted by their families and friends. The students learnt so much, not just about Japanese culture but also how different school and home life is compared to Australia. All of the group commented that their language skills have improved immensely and they recommend the exchange for any students studying Japanese in Years 9 and 10.
