Meeting with JETAA Vic/Tas/SA and JETAA NSW

Posted on by admin

On 4 March CLAIR Chairperson Mr Okamoto met with committee members of the Vic/Tas/SA chapter of JETAA and on the following day he met with their counterparts at the NSW chapter of JETAA.

During the meetings attendees discussed the JET programme, especially on how to teach English with Japanese English teachers, make the pre-departure training more effective and use the programme effectively for the Rugby World Cup in 2019 and the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020.

The JET programme has a lot of participants from all over the world. After graduating the programme, many of them act as bridges between Japan and their countries.

The programme will celebrate its 30th anniversary next year. We felt that the JETAA’s activities will be more active and the programme will better thanks to these productive meetings.

  • 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.
