Kookaburra Japanese School has moved to Lane Cove Public School in May 2024 (our school uses the Japanese school year).

The symbol of NSW is the kookaburra, a bird that is “healthy, honest, humble and supportive, with joyful enthusiasm and gaiety, deeply connected to family and friends”. We want students who attend our school to grow up like this bird. With this wish in mind, we named it Kookaburra Japanese (Language) School. Our international class will be opened in 2023.

Our School is a great place for children to continue their foundation of learning as our weekend school is staffed by motivated staff fluent in both Japanese and English.

For non-Japanese background students, we will ensure a smooth and successful introduction into beginner’s language curriculum and culture. The aim for such learning is to be able to speak common phrases and write Japanese characters with confidence.

We are also very welcome to kindy students who attended Japanese child care or family daycare, who already know some Japanese and wish to continue to learn the Japanese language and culture.
