The City of Bunbury is seeking applications from local families to host students visiting from our Sister City, Setagaya, Japan.
This long-running initiative fosters cross-cultural understanding and builds lifelong connections between our communities. Hosting a student is a rewarding opportunity to share everyday Australian life, create international friendships, and support Bunbury’s relationship with our Sister City.
We are seeking families to host students from Setagaya Junior High School aged 14 years, visiting from 6 to 9 November (3 nights).
Interested? Watch this video from past host family, Josh and Kathryn Rosair:

Feedback from past Setagaya Students:
"I had researched a lot about Australia online, but I felt that seeing and experiencing things firsthand is the best."
"I had a really great time spending time with my host family. I want to visit again."
