HOSTING A JAPANESE STUDENT IS FUN!!
St Benedict’s College will be hosting a small group of 15 co-ed Japanese high school students, (13 girls and 2 boys) from 1 to 12 August.
We are inviting school families to consider hosting a Japanese student during their time at St Benedict’s College.
**Home stay hosts will be paid a tax free allowance of $400.00 for each student, which will more than meet the costs of hosting.
Last year’s host families enjoyed the experience very much and found it most rewarding and memorable.
Why not consider hosting a student in your home & enjoy this great experience?

Following on from the success year after year of the Western Sydney Apprenticeship & Traineeship Expo, the time has come to take the model to other parts of our great city and provide our career/job seekers, business and industry, education providers and employers with the opportunities to all come together under the one roof and begin the journey of making the plans for our cities growth a reality.
Brett Carter Events is excited to announce that this year in addition to the Western Sydney Apprenticeship & Traineeship Expo, further expos are being held in the South Western Sydney/Macarthur and Central Coast Regions.
Whether you are at school and looking for a career path, a parent hoping to give your child the best opportunities in life, or a teacher that wants to see their students start off on the right foot – the 2018 Apprenticeship and Traineeship Expos have all the answers you need.

About the events
The Western Sydney Apprenticeship & Traineeship Expo is an annual event dating back 16 years with a rich history in Western Sydney and has grown to a status where it is widely accepted as the premier apprenticeship/traineeship expo in NSW.
The timing of the expo is a hit with families as it allows parents to attend with their children and have those all important career chats with industry experts.
Over 100 exhibitors and 5000 people attend each year.
The model has proved so successful over the years and we are excited to bring this event to other regions and anticipate similar attendance figures at each expo.
The expo kicks off the recruitment process. Exhibitors get the chance to collect resumes and promote their organisation for upcoming recruitment drives.
School Careers Advisers are on hand to meet career seekers and parents to discuss career options.
This is the perfect chance to meet industry experts from a range of interesting fields and apply for apprenticeships, traineeships, jobs and further education from over 100 exhibitors at each event representing industry, businesses, group training companies, registered training organisations and many more.
With a lot of Sydney’s major infrastructure projects underway – Western Sydney Airport, road, as well as community, business and residential developments, there has never been a better time to start your journey on a rewarding career path.
