Year 10 // Work Life in Japan

How can you compare/contrast work life in Japan and Australia?

Part of your exam is to make paralles between the two cultures, focusing on future plans and work (post-high school or studying).

What job or career would you like to hold after your studies? What are your skills and interests. Are there any Japanese teenagers that share your common goals or aspirations?

Year 12 // Women in the Workplace

We believe that creating a society where “Women can shine” is not just a social issue, but an economic issue. The government aims to achieve diversity by expanding the role of women and creating an embracing environment in the workplace. But it requires participation of both women and men. It calls for businesses to change work styles built on traditional values.
