Welcome to the Sutherland Shire, Sydney
- Lakewood, Denver U.S.A. Sister City Website.
Since 1978, Sutherland Shire has had a Sister Cities Agreement with Lakewood, Colorado, USA. This agreement is culminated with the Sutherland - Lakewood Student Exchange Program, a unique exchange program in that it is a "twin" exchange.
Australian students are paired with an American student and family. Sutherland students then travel to Lakewood to stay with their American family for the last six months of the year, and this is reciprocated by the American student travelling to Sutherland and staying with their host family for the first six months of the next year. This provides a unique opportunity for students from each country to experience life overseas with another family.
This website has been setup as an information source for past, current and prospective participants of the program, and the general public to keep up to date with what is happening in our Sister City Programs.
