For the past few years, Glenaeon has hosted Japanese students and this November, 12 students attended our school and stayed with local families including Glenaeon hosts. Our sincere thanks to these families that opened up their homes to these students. Their generosity enabled them to experience Australian lifestyle and culture and in exchange our Glenaeon students were immersed in Japanese culture through shared experiences. 

 

During their time in Sydney new friendships blossomed, cultural values were celebrated, students experienced the joy of the Glenaeon Family Fair, and the immersion into a strong community developed skills, empathy and understanding.

 

Japanese student and teachers were impressed with our school environment, learning style, Steiner education pedagogy, and many said they will miss their host family and didn't want to leave! We are thrilled for yet another successful year of hosting and learning.
