Bridging cultures and building friendships! A memorable visit with Suito Kokusai Junior and Senior High School 🌏🌸
As part of the Kuching–Osaka Student Exchange Programme 2026, organised by the Ministry of Education (MOE) in collaboration with the Sarawak State Education Department (JPN Sarawak) and sponsored by the Osaka Gas Foundation for International Cultural Exchange, Swinburne Sarawak was thrilled to welcome students and teachers from Suito Kokusai Junior and Senior High School, Osaka, Japan.
Taking place from 21 to 28 August 2026, the programme brings together students and teachers from Sarawak and Osaka to promote international cultural exchange, strengthen people-to-people connections and create meaningful cross-cultural learning experiences.
During their visit, our guests explored campus life and connected with the Swinburne community. Starting at Lobby A, the delegation was welcomed with an opening address by Mr Mohamad Safaree bin Sapuan, before joining an engaging sharing session hosted by Dr Muhammad Rafiq Mirza Julaihi and the Swinburne Anime and Manga Society (SAMS), celebrating shared interests and the creative side of student life.
The visit wrapped up with a campus tour, with stops at the Library, The Junction, Borneo Atrium, Multipurpose Hall and Student Hub, giving our guests a glimpse into the spaces where our students learn, connect and spend time together.
Thank you to Suito International High School for bringing so much warmth and enthusiasm to our campus. Safe travels, and until next time! 🇯🇵🇲🇾🚀
