We are still looking for families to host visiting
Japanese students for the weekend of November 21-24. There is an honorarium
paid to host families. If you are interested, please reply to Chantal Chorney
in the school office by email (cchorney@sd35.bc.ca) or
phone (604-888-3113).
We are pleased to again have the opportunity to host
visiting Japanese Shintoku High School students November 21 – 24th this
year. We are looking for homestay families
who have students in secondary grades.
Please read the following information and let us know if you can
accommodate our Japanese visitors:
Schedule:
November 20 – Japanese students will arrive and stay in
Vancouver overnight.
Friday, November 21 – Students will arrive at LFAS for
the day. Their luggage will be stored at
the school. We will have a program of
activities for the students and will connect them with their homestay family
student. LFAS students and Japanese
students will spend the day together at the school doing various activities and
attending a class. Pickup by homestay
families will take place after school.
Saturday/Sunday November 22- 23 Japanese students will be included in family
activities for the weekend. Feel free to
take students to your favourite lower mainland spots and include them in
regular family life (chores, outings, gatherings, church attendance, etc.)
Guidelines:
Students will be placed in pairs. We have one group with 3 girls – if you’re
able to accommodate this trio that would be wonderful. Students may share one room but need to each
have their own bed (this could be a bed plus a mattress or a futon). Homestay families are expected to provide
meals for the Japanese students on Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday.
If you are interested in hosting students this year
please contact Mrs. Chorney in the office at cchorney@sd35.bc.ca
or by phone at 604-3113. A letter will then be sent home with further
information to help in planning for our visitors’ stay.
Thank-you,
