Who is this course for?

This course is for students who want to explore Japanese-speaking communities, culture, and language while enhancing intercultural understanding. Enrolment completion depends on meeting the eligibility criteria set by the SACE Board and is pending upon an eligibility form.

Students who have had more than one year of education in Japan after age five are considered 'background learners' and not eligible for the Continuers course.
