Students have the opportunity to opportunity to interact with native speakers from our sister school, Suginami High School, in Tokyo as part of our biannual exchange programme to and from Japan. We offer a trip to Japan every two years for 2 weeks. Priority for this trip will be given to students who are in Year 12 and Year 13, and studying Japanese.
