Are you interested in hosting a Japanese student?
The organising company is seeking early expressions of interest from school families who might be interested in hosting a student during their time at St Benedict's. Last year's host families enjoyed the memorable experience and found it most rewarding.
Why not consider hosting a student in your home? Home stay hosts will be paid a tax free allowance for each student which will more than defray the costs of hosting.

Community Announcement
Kookaburra Kids supports children living in families affected by mental illness through free recreational and educational respite camps and activity days. These kids often care for siblings or parents and take on everyday household responsibilities, resulting in isolation, and giving them few opportunities to just be a kid. We provide an unforgettable experience, giving them respite from home, a safe environment to share their experiences with others in similar circumstances, plus mental health education focused on coping skills and building resilience.
Kookaburra Kids are running events throughout the year with different age-group camps and school holiday activity days in different areas (see below). Children from different areas can be referred as we have multiple transport locations.
If you have any questions or queries please do not hesitate to get in touch, you can reach Olga Turitsyna on 0499 163 058 or emailolga@kookaburrakids.org.au
