Australia Study Tour

20 Ikuno students and 2 teachers spent 10 days in Hervey Bay, Queensland at Fraser Coast Anglican College. From 2026, we have formed a sister school relationship with our friends at FCAC. Students are selected through a writing and interview process. Their goal is to use English as much as possible without fear of mistakes, even amongst themselves.

K'gari (Fraser) Island Day Trip

Students spent a few hours looking for wild koalas and kangaroos in the nearby lakelands.

School Buddies

Students spent break and lunch time with school buddies. Sharing food, culture and interests with Australian high school students was one of the more popular aspects of this program.

Language Lessons

Students receive English lessons at Fraser Coast Anglican College: learning about Australian slang, history and culture.

The Butchulla People

Students learned about Aboriginal culture from two of the Butchulla people, indigenous to Hervey Bay and K'gari Island. It was a valuable chance to understand how the indigenous communities of people lived in Australia.

Homestay

Students stay with host families during the trip. During the weekend, host families take students out for sightseeing and fun activities.
