In 2024, Unity College is lucky to join many schools in becoming part of the Kobe Japan Australia Society’s Assistant Language Teacher program.
The program pairs Australian schools with volunteer assistant language teachers from Japan.
Next year, we will be hosting Chisato Yano. As part of her volunteering Chisato is expected to participate in Homestays with Unity families.
If your student is interested in Japanese, or you think this may be a positive experience for your family. Please contact Graeme Watkins via gwatkins@unitycollege.sa.edu.au
Minimum stay arrangements are around 7-10 days to 2 months. Chisato, comes to us from Osaka where she was working as a nurse, she has a bright and bubbly personality, and speaks conversational English.
