WHERE DOES THE SUBJECT LEAD?
Japanese language can be studied at every level from Year 9 to Year 13. From Year 13 students can progress to University or Polytechnics/Ara to continue their Japanese language study. For those with a real interest in Japanese language and culture, there are many opportunities to travel to Japan both while at school and after leaving school. Every two years there is a tour to Japan organised by the school. Students can also apply for AFS Scholarships and self-funding exchange programmes.
