Japan Trip

Japan Tour 2018

The 2018 Japan Study Tour which took place in April, was the opportunity of a lifetime for 17 students and 3 teachers. The 14- day tour included visits to Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Nara, Osaka and a 5-day school program at our sister-school Kyoto Seibo Gakuin. As if this wasn’t enough, the group also got to experience travelling on several bullet trains and they witnessed an aweinspiring display of cherry blossoms!

It is such a privilege to share an international study experience with students and to watch them blossom because of the experiences and the sites. Undoubtedly though, the highlight of international travel is quite often the people we meet and the connections that we make. As you will read below, this tour was no exception and it was certainly a delight to watch the girls make connections with their Japanese buddies that will hopefully last for many years.

My favourite part of this trip was meeting the students from our sister school. The friendships we have made is something that I will never forget.

The things I enjoyed most in Japan were their custom, culture and study in Kyoto Seibo. This will be my best memory in Japan; I will never forget it.

There were so many amazing things about this trip; it is so difficult to pick just one! One of my favourite memories included the small convenience stores that were great for a delicious, yet affordable dinner, or perfect for some snacks with friends. So many of my memories lie within the convenience stores – I will miss them dearly! I am also very grateful for the new bonds and friendships I made in Japan

I really enjoyed spending time with our sister school. We experienced the daily lives of students in Japan and it wasn’t very different to in Australia. Although the whole trip has been amazing, I have really enjoyed spending time in Kyoto.

The whole tour has been such an enjoyable experience, but the highlight of the trip was spending time with the Japanese Students. It was so nice to see how different their lives are to our own. It was also nice to be able to make friendships that are most likely be kept forever!
