Hi CKSCA Participants in the Fisher's Ghost Parade Saturday 31st October 2026.

Hoping many of our members, current student delegation and ex student delegations will join in. It’s so exciting the parade has made a comeback. Council have created a new CKSCA banner for us to display.

If you have troubles locating our group (parade no: 32), please call me on 0417 780 422. I will be close to the Campbelltown City Council Information tent in Dumaresq Street carpark with the yukatas.

Welcome home to our 39th Youth Delegation! 🇯🇵🛬
Our incredible student ambassadors have officially returned home following an unforgettable 12-day homestay with host families in the Koshigaya area.
To wrap up their incredible journey, the students were asked to deliver a three-minute speech last Thursday night at our annual Story-telling night, reflecting on their time spent in Japan. It was a wonderful evening filled with gratitude, shared memories, and reflection.
During their speeches, the students highlighted some of their favorite parts of the trip and extended their heartfelt appreciation:

To the Host Families: A massive thank you went out to the wonderful host families for opening up their homes and showing such incredible warmth and hospitality.

To the Koshigaya International Association (KIA): Special thanks were given to the KIA members and volunteers—the fantastic sister-city counterpart to our own Campbelltown Sister Cities Association. Thank you for keeping our students safe on day activities and generously sharing your deep knowledge of Japanese traditions and culture.

A Life-Changing Opportunity: The students expressed immense gratitude for the chance to experience Japan firsthand. They shared how much they absolutely loved exploring the local food, vibrant fashions, and the fascinating everyday differences between Campbelltown and Koshigaya.

We are so proud of how well this delegation represented our community and grateful to everyone across both cities who made this exchange such a massive success! 🤝❤️

Well, the time has come for the long trip home. The 39th Delegation are all at the airport, said their goodbyes and thank you to the KIA members who have assisted them throughout the duration of their stay. They are all checked in and are waiting for their flight (SQ633) to Singapore, the first leg of the trip. I think they will all be so tired out they might sleep at least some of the way. Happy and safe travels everyone. See you all back home soon 🇦🇺🐨🦘

The goodbyes have commenced already as the delegation do the huge job of packing their suitcases with all their souvenirs, food (Denzel) and Disneyland memorabilia. Shopping from Laketown as well most likely. :-)

What a beautiful goodbye to remember but what a wonderful trip with wonderful host families, lifetime friendships made, new knowledge of culture and traditions of Japan and wonderful memories of Koshigaya and its wonderful people. It will be hard to say goodbye tomorrow.

Visit to Kita Junior High School a huge success. Guest at school assembly and we had the entire school dancing the Macarena, then Visiting different classrooms and joining English lessons. Hot lunch served by students in classrooms, then after lunch all students brush their teeth.

Thank you Danny for photos and report for the day. :-)

Sounds like all the delegation had fun learning more about students of their own age and what school is like in Japan. Many friendships would have been made today and the passing of meishi cards as well. It is a wonderful day for the students to mix and mingle.
