In Week 9, we welcome the students and staff from Doshisha Elementary School in Kyoto, Japan. We have developed a Friendship School relationship with Doshisha for over a decade.

Doshisha have visited our school since 2012, and St. Joseph's have also visited their school in Kyoto. We have also exchanged letters, had video calls and generally forged a great friendship between the two schools.

Doshisha Elementary School students will arrive on Sunday 24th March at 4:30pm at the school hall, and visit our school over four days until they depart on Thursday 28th March at 9:10am.

We thank the nineteen school families who have offered to host the students at their homes. Relevant families will receive reminders about hosting students via email this week.
