SJIS uniforms are red and navy blue. In 2017, the girls' primary and high school uniforms were redesigned and a new PE uniform was introduced. All uniform items (excluding shoes and socks) can be purchased at the uniform shop located in the school reception during term hours (approximately 8:30 am to 4:00 pm). Primary Summer, Primary Winter, High School Summer, High School Winter, and PE Uniforms are available with price lists downloadable from the shop.
SJIS operates a Tuck Shop lunch program featuring Japanese classics and local favourites, including sushi, Japanese curry, healthy sandwiches, hamburgers, pizza and pasta. Lunch orders are placed via the Flexischools app to avoid cash on campus. During lunch, students eat with classmates and teachers in the first half, then participate in activities in the second half, with the library open for reading.
SJIS is an independent school. The senior leadership team comprises the School Board, School Principal, Deputy Principal of the International Division, Deputy Principal of the Japanese Division, and the General Manager.
Sydney Japanese International School operates on a single Terrey Hills campus with two divisions. The International Division follows the New South Wales curriculum for Kindergarten to Year 6 and provides daily Japanese language lessons, while the Japanese Division follows the Japanese curriculum for Years 1 to 9 with daily English lessons. The two divisions share facilities and collaborate on visual arts, physical education, music and ICT to support bilingual learning. Language programs include five 45‑minute classes per week taught by native speakers, fostering proficiency in both Japanese and English. The school emphasizes immersion and cross‑cultural language development across both divisions. Facilities include large air‑conditioned classrooms with interactive whiteboards, science laboratories, a dedicated computer room, two art rooms, a music room and a food technology room, plus a library with over 20,000 Japanese and English titles and field facilities for sport. After‑school activities cover Karate, Sado, Gakken, Cheerleading, Multi‑Sports, Guitar, SoroTouch, Soccer, Badminton and Otanoshimi. Established in 1969, the school celebrated 50 years in 2019.
