Jasa, the success of the previous MoU was focused on developing the students’
international horizons after the exchange student program done every year.
Moreover, some of RYS’ students were allowed to join the regular class at
JSRACS for one semester. Besides that, JSRACS invited 3 RYS’ teachers every
year to teach Balinese traditional music and dances at the school.
“We feel very
close with JSRACS. Our relationship is like a family. Our students feel at home
living in Perth. On the contrary, JSRACS’ students feel at home living in Bali.
This happens because of our beautiful slogan: The rainbows over Bali and Perth
symbolizing Perth and Bali are our homes and families. We both have differences;
however, these differences make our friendship become more beautiful,” Jasa
said.

Australia is the nearest neighbor country of Indonesia.
