The Japanese School of Melbourne
The Japanese School of Melbourne (JSM) (メルボルン日本人学校, Meruborun Nihonjin Gakkō) is a Japanese international school located in Caulfield South, Victoria in the Melbourne area. The school uses a Japanese curriculum and the school is tailored to Japanese temporary residents; however is considered to be a state school by the Victorian Government.The school covers elementary and junior high school levels. Most students attend for around two to five years, and are temporary migrants rather than permanent settlers. When students at JSM reach high school age, most go to Japan to attend high school. Not all short-term Japanese residents in Melbourne send their children to the JSM, as some prefer to send their children to Australian schools.Tetsuo Mizukami (水上 徹男 Mizukami Tetsuo), author of The Sojourner Community: Japanese Migration and Residency in Australia, wrote in 2007 that "When compared with Japanese schools in Sydney and Perth," the JSM "exhibits a somewhat remote stance in its interaction with the local community." Unlike the other two Japanese schools, the school in Melbourne does not offer international classes that allow non-Japanese students to partake in the Japanese-language programmes. Several Japanese families settled in the area around Caulfield due to the location of the JSM.
