Authentic-looking Laboratory!

This photo is a snapshot of the shooting of the TV program.

But this is not a shooting studio, but our school’s lab for the Airline course.
It’s not easy to find a back lot for in-flight scenes like this, so this mock-up had been used in the shooting of the TV programs and movies.
Also we use this lab for a school guidance facility, so please come and visit us by all means!!

End of the Year!

Our students in Melbourne finished semester on Friday 11th December.
We had a huge Awards Ceremony and we sent 3 groups of students off the campus on that day.
37 students who are staying in Melbourne for 10 months, one of them, Daichi gave a speech at the ceremony, talked about his work experience. Even he decided to make speech one day before; he looked very relaxed and confident!!
They are now enjoying 4-week summer Christmas holiday and coming back to school next year. Their graduation of 10 months program will be at the end of January.

12 students from Sapporo who stayed with us for 2 months also attended the Awards Ceremony with their class mates and 10-months students. They left Melbourne just after the ceremony, and went off to their own short holiday. Most of them stayed in Sydney, but some went all the way to Urulu in couple of days!!
They are now back to snow in Sapporo!

We had one more group of 14 students from Tokyo Airline course. They came here to brush up their English before QANTAS training course in Sydney. They had a short stay in Melbourne for only 2 weeks, but spent a great time with Trajal Coordinator Suzy and homestay families. They danced “Para Para” at Thanks Party for homestay families at the end.

We wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Melbourne!!

Students assist wheelchair-bound on a visit to Arima hot spring

The students from the railway service class who hold the “Care Provider – Level 3 Certificate" accompanied a group of wheelchair-bound persons on a trip by train to Arima hot spring.

The Care-Provider is a certification to signify the acquisition of care giving skills and a sense of hospitality to assist elderly people and people with disabilities. This excursion was a good opportunity for them to show what they could do. The students helped the disabled participants on and off trains and elevators, and generally assisted them in moving around.

It was very impressive to see the concern for the disabled shown by the students and the way in which they established a good relationship with them by engaging them in friendly conversation at every opportunity.
The wheelchair-bound participants also had a good time, and commented enthusiastically about the care given by the students. They also said that they would not have been able to make the trip without their help.

Recently, improvements in public transportation facilities and the creation of barrier-free buildings have made it easier for the disabled to venture out, but not all the problems involved in doing so have been solved.
However, even a little help can make excursion like this possible. In addition, this fieldwork gave the students had good opportunity to understand how much difference they could make for the disabled.

Aloha Spirit

I guess almost all of the people in Japan think that Aloha means Hello or Good-bye.
But it has some more different meanings.
And Hawaiian culture is based on these meanings.
You will know how interesting Hawaiian culture is.

Work Experience in Australia

Can you imagine that you are working in foreign country?

It’s not easy to speak only second language at work place, particularly in hotels, restaurants or travel agencies.
Our 37 students are having such an experience for 4 weeks bravely!
I visited their work places in Melbourne and Gold Coast.
Some of them are at the receptions in the hotels, assisting guests and answering phones, some are working in the busy restaurants and some are facing computers in the offices.

Everyone is trying hard! I’d love to say to them,

”Well done! I’m so proud of you! Have you got a confidence boost?”
