A Journey of Culture, Friendship & Fun

Our recent Japan Study Tour was an incredible adventure filled with culture, new experiences, and unforgettable memories. Our 10 amazing students were absolute stars throughout the trip—curious, respectful, and full of energy every step of the way.

From the lively start at Brisbane Airport, with some funny lessons on what not to pack (and some unexpected challenges involving our fantastic teachers Ms Shaw and Mrs Growns-Lieu!), to landing in Tokyo where Mr Huang was having the time of his life and Ms Truong needed some “bubble wrap protection” after a few amusing incidents—the journey was action-packed from the start!

Our students embraced every moment—from visiting Chiba Keiai High School, practicing kendo, and participating in a tea ceremony, to exploring the Imperial Palace, the stunning TeamLab Planets digital art museum, and the majestic Mt. Fuji area. The magical Harry Potter event was a particular highlight, adding a touch of fantasy to the cultural experience.

They also experienced the serenity of Sensoji Temple and Meiji Jingu Shrine, balanced by the bright lights and excitement of Ginza. Throughout it all, our students showed great respect and enthusiasm, making the most of every opportunity.

A huge thank you to our wonderful students and dedicated teachers who made this trip safe, fun, and meaningful. We’re so proud of the way our students represented our school with curiosity and kindness.

As we wrap up this amazing journey, we’re already excited to start planning our next adventure—2026 or 2027, here we come! Korea, get ready!  Or maybe China?  Do you have a preference? 

For now, Arigatou, Japan — until next time!
