JCS Japanese School’s School Song
Music and Words: Atsuko Tajima
きれいな あおいうみと
あざやかな みどりにかこまれて
すこやかに のびのびと
そだつ ここシドニーで
とおくにまつ にほんのおおぞらおもい
うつくしい こころと
そのひびき まなんでゆこう
そして みらいへと はしをかけよう
あのおおきな にじのように

JCS Japanese School’s School Song
About Japan Club of Sydney (JCS)
Established in 1983, The Japan Club of Sydney (JCS) is a non-profit organization operating as an ethnic group under NSW law, with a neutral policy in religion and politics. Most members reside in New South Wales, and are predominantly of Japanese descent. Managed by volunteers, the JCS works to foster friendship between Japanese families, promote Japanese culture and improve mutual understanding with other ethnic groups. Although the club was originally founded to promote the development of supportive community for Japanese permanent residents in Australia, it welcomes everybody who accepts its tenets and policies regardless of their ethnic background.
