 MLC Japanese Homestay 2008!

"It was a great pleasure to take care of this lovely girl, so polite, so gracious, so thankful for small kindness.  

I was sad to say 'bye bye"

- MLC Homestay mother 2008.

  The program was a big success (as usual) MLC host families and MLC students were fantastic. Highlights of the program included class exchanges with the MLC Japanese department, MLC PE department and the MLC Junior School. The Farewell Party was also a great highlight where the girls showed a student - made DVD film of thier school with running commentary as well as modern Japanese dancing.

  A huge thank you to all who where involved. If you are interested in hosting a student in our 2009 homestay program click here  for more information.
