From 4 to 13 August 2026, a group of friendly Japanese high school students aged 15 to 16 from Kobe, Hyogo, near Osaka, will visit St Andrews College, Marayong, Junior Campus.
We are looking for welcoming host families to take part in this special cultural exchange.

• Packed lunch and morning tea for school
• Inclusion in normal family activities and weekend outings
Host family support:
• Families receive $60 per night, per student to assist with expenses
Weekend activities can be simple and fun, such as local sports games, bushwalks, beach trips, sightseeing around Sydney, or shopping for Australian souvenirs.
Why families love hosting:
• A rewarding cultural exchange experience
• Lifelong friendships and memories
• An opportunity to share Australian culture and hospitality
