Looking to form a Sister School Exchange?

At CLAIR Sydney, we encourage Sister School Exchanges between Japan and Australia/New Zealand. Through a Sister School Exchange, students from both countries are able to gain new experiences and opportunities. We are happy to assist any municipalities or schools interested in establishing a Sister School Exchange.

On our website, we have a list of schools that are interested in forming a Sister School Exchange (list as of February 2013). If you would like to know more about a school on this list, please contact our office or get in touch with the school directly. Also, if you would like to have your school listed on our website, please let us know by filling out the application form online.

At the moment, MattaHigh School in Osaka is looking for a sister school in Australia or New Zealand. For more information, please check the URL below as well as our website.

Again, if you are looking to form a Sister School Exchange with a school in Japan, please feel free to contact us. We hope to see more Sister School Exchanges being established in the future.

  • The sister city relationship between Nagoya City and City of Sydney will celebrate its 45th anniversary in 2025.
     
    The Nagoya City official who came to Australia to participate in the Australian Multiculturalism Study Tour hosted by CLAIR Sydney, paid a visit to Sydney City Town Hall on Friday 24 November, and we assisted his visit. In addition to sharing information on the status of exchanges between the two cities’ sister zoos (Taronga Zoo and Higashiyama Zoo) and international exchanges in Nagoya City, a preliminary meeting was held for Deputy Mayor Matsuo’s visit to Sydney for December 2023.
     
    With the landmark year only two years away, CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the exchanges between the two cities.
