| 2009 JENESYS Young Japanese-Language Teachers Dispatch Program |
The Young Japanese-Language Teachers Dispatch Program is an initiative of the Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange of Students and Youths (JENESYS) Programme, to foster deeper ties and intercultural understanding between Japanese youths and students of their host countries. After undertaking pre-departure training, Young Japanese Teachers are dispatched for a period of 10 months, and assist non-native Japanese language teachers in Japanese educations in secondary schools.
A total of 6 Young Japanese Teachers participated in this program in 2009, in secondary schools in New South Wales, Western Australia and New Zealand.

Optional lessons to meet individual Japanese language needs for specialized work purposes and academic research activities are also offered.
Moreover, the program includes some activities for enhancing participants' understanding of Japanese society, such as social events with the local community, field trips, etc.

| The 12th Japanese Language Performance Day and 9th Creative Art Exhibition |

Unfortunately, due to the small number of entrants, we were unable to go ahead with this years’ Performance Day.
The 9th Creative Art Exhibition was a great success! The gallery was brought to life with a variety of outstanding artworks from a number of different schools. The eye-catching works attracted a number of members of the public who were very impressed.
