Hosting opportunity 

Every year for the past 30 years, we have enjoyed hosting Japanese exchange students from Japan in Term 1. In return, Santa Sabina students are hosted by Japanese families during our school visit to Japan or invited to experience short-term exchanges during the holidays. These exchanges have provided a valuable learning experience for both hosted and hosting students and fostered many ever-lasting friendships. 

The students are looking forward to this opportunity to live in Australia and share customs, traditions and culture with Australian families. The students should be arriving on the weekend of the first week of February or the end of January and leaving during the first week of April (depending on their flight schedules). We are asking families to host for two, three, four or 10 weeks during this time. The exchange student will contribute a weekly fee to each host family. 

In the past, Australian families have thoroughly enjoyed the hosting experience and have recommended it to others. We thank you in anticipation of your assistance and would appreciate a response as soon as possible.

Please contact Miss Zhang or Mrs Whittemore via email if you can assist, or would like more information.
