We are thrilled to welcome back our sister school from Japan, Honjo Higashi High School, to A.B. Paterson College!

This is their first visit since 2019 and we are excited to be hosting 20 senior high school students along with their tour leader, Mr Mark Itoh.

During their 10 days with us, the Honjo students will be taking English lessons at our college whilst also joining their host students' homerooms each morning and attending some academic classes throughout the week.

It was wonderful to meet and welcome the students to the college at our welcome assembly on Monday afternoon where they were treated to a fabulous dance performance by our Year 10 dance group.

The students have been having a wonderful time with their host families, sightseeing and enjoying everything the Gold Coast has to offer. On Wednesday, they enjoyed a half day excursion to Top Golf with their host students, before enjoying a typical Aussie BBQ on Friday afternoon when we farewell our guests.

We are so pleased to have Honjo students back at our college, it provides a truly wonderful and enriching experience for all the families involved.
