Host Families for Japanese Student Exchange
Our Sister School in Japan will send 15 students on exchange in July. The visit will have a cultural purpose and the students will be keen to improve their English and experience life in Australia. The students will participate in the educational programs at TKS. All students will be in Year 11 and speak basic English. They arrive on 22 July and leave 3 August.
If you would like to host a student, please contact us via email before 24 May.
