Shizuoka Salesio Year 8 Visit 2026
From Saturday 21 March to Tuesday 24 March, we were delighted to welcome a group of Year 8 students from Shizuoka Salesio School. They chose to spend part of their spring holiday break in Tasmania, where they stayed for three nights with our Dominic host families.
During their visit, the students explored Hobart and its surrounds and attended classes at Dominic for two days. While at school, they enjoyed learning about our spacious campus, interacting with our animals, cooking together, and taking part in PE, Maths, Music and Drama lessons. They also joined us in prayer and song in the Mary Help of Christians Chapel.
Our Dominic host students demonstrated exceptional intercultural understanding, kindness, and enthusiasm as they supported and cared for their new friends. It was truly heartwarming to witness.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the wonderful host students and their families, who generously opened their homes, often making room for two (or even three!) additional children, and contributed so warmly to this special experience.
