Mayor from Konosu City visited CLAIR Sydney

On 30 July, the Mayor of Konosu City, Mr HARAGUCHI Kazuhisa and other Konosu City Government delegates visited the CLAIR Sydney office. The delegation came together with junior high school students from Konosu City, who were in Australia for a school exchange with Baulkham Hills High School in The Hills Shire, New South Wales. When Mayor HARAGUCHI and his staff visited the CLAIR Sydney office, they introduced their school’s exchange activities to our staff.

Konosu City has been sending junior high school students overseas with an aim to nurture globally-minded students who will contribute to the world. Konosu City has been engaging in student exchange with Baulkham Hills High School since 2007, where Konosu City students attend classes and participate in a homestay to engage in cultural exchange with their host family and local students.

CLAIR Sydney will continue to support Konosu City in their proactive international exchange activities.

  • From the 3rd to the 13th of December, eight selected swimmers from the Fukuoka Swimming Association visited NSW, where they participated in joint training sessions with a local school and competed in the 2024-25 Speedo NSW Senior State Age Championships.

    During the joint training, the athletes deepened their connections, and in the competition, the Fukuoka swimmers achieved remarkable success, earning numerous medals.
     
    The visit is based on the Memorandum of Understanding signed in December 2023 between the Fukuoka Prefecture, the Fukuoka Swimming Association, and Swimming NSW. CLAIR Sydney received a request from Fukuoka Prefecture to assist them with their activities and accompanied them during some parts of their visit.
     
    We will continue to support and deepen exchanges in the field of sports between Fukuoka Prefecture and NSW.
    To all the athletes, coaches, and accompanying staffs, Otsukaresamadeshita!

  • To investigate environmental countermeasures, a student and her chaperone from Hikone Technological High School of Shiga Prefecture visited Australia from late July to early August. CLAIR Sydney conducted a briefing on 29 July about Australia’s culture and customs, and accompanied the group to a company visit in Brisbane on 31 July, where the company, known for producing products using a type of seaweed called Asparagopsis, shared insights into their research and production processes.

    During the visit, they received information on efforts to reduce methane emissions from livestock using Asparagopsis, viewed from a carbon-neutral perspective. The student’s proactive participation in the meetings, driven by a desire to engage in environmental initiatives in the future, was impressive.

    In addition to the briefing and accompaniment, we also reached out to the company to request a representative to discuss their Asparagopsis research. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the activities of Japanese local governments conducting research on topics related to Australia.
