Our sister school, Sawara Junior High from Japan, is visiting us this year from Friday 16 August- Wednesday 21 August to experience New Zealand culture and a New Zealand school

Last year we visited them for 9 days and experienced Japanese culture and their school system which our students thoroughly enjoyed and found to be a very valuable learning experience. This relationship between the two schools has been going on for nearly 20 years and it is a very valuable one. We are looking for GEIS homestay families to host these students between these dates to give them an experience of a kiwi family and the kiwi way of life for a short time. 

Please note this is an ongoing cultural exchange between the two schools and there are no homestay fees associated with this exchange.

If you would like to host a Japanese student, or have any questions, please contact Deputy Principal, Jacob Prisk;  jacobp@geis.school.nz
