Japanese Teacher Assistant

Over the years, Pacific has been fortunate to have Japanese Teacher Assistants (JTAs) in our Japanese classrooms to assist in our students’ learning and to share their diverse cultural knowledge and experiences. We are currently seeking host families for potential JTAs in 2019. Host families must have a student(s) attending Pacific Lutheran College. The successful host family will be paid $150 a week to cover costs such as food and utilities. If you believe your family could make a Japanese person feel like a part of our community, please obtain an information pack and application form from Mrs Michiko Hauser in the S Block staffroom. Alternatively, please email mtoriyabe@pacluth.qld.edu.au.

Inbound Exchange 

In Term 3, we will welcome two students from our sister school Seishin Gakuen who will complete their Term 3 studies at Pacific. Application forms to host the two inbound Seishin students were given out at last week’s split assembly. The host family must have a Pacific student in either Year 10 or Year 11 (they do not have to be studying Japanese to host). Whether it be three weeks or the full 10 weeks, if you are interested in hosting or require more information, please obtain an information pack and application form from Mrs Michiko Hauser in the S Block staffroom. Alternatively, please e-mail mtoriyabe@pacluth.qld.edu.au.

Outbound Exchange

In Term 4, following the Inbound Exchange, we will be sending two Year 10 Japanese students to Seishin Gakuen for a 6-10 week exchange. Students who apply to go on the Outbound Exchange must be studying Japanese in Year 10 with the intent to continue their language studies into Year 11 and 12. Application forms for the Outbound Exchange can be obtained from Mrs Michiko Hauser in the S Block staffroom. Alternatively, please e-mail mtoriyabe@pacluth.qld.edu.au.
