The GV Photo Competition is now closed and we received some really fantastic photos!
The photos have been organised and the judging has begun! Who will win the grand prize of a return flight to Sydney?! The winner will be announced on the blog this Friday, 10 July. Keep an eye out to see if it is you.
Our 20 new TAP students arrived safely at GV Noosa yesterday! This included students from France, Germany, Belgium, Japan, Switzerland and Saudi Arabia!
The day began with orientation and quite a few nervous faces. After playing the introductory communication game, it didn’t take long for the students to bond and make new friends from around the globe. Hugo from France was the lucky winner of the TAP communication game. We hoped he enjoyed his special Australian macadamia and chocolate cookie!
TAP students enjoy a specialised program of English lessons in the morning, followed by an enjoyable activity each afternoon. The first activity was a Noosa familiarization tour, in which students were taken to Noosa’s most famous landmarks. This included a visit to Hastings Street, Noosa Lookout and a climb to the top of Mt Tinbeerwah.
Today, students will have the opportunity to test their surfing ability at Noosa’s Main Beach…
Today we say goodbye to Carmen Seiz and her beautiful daughters Adina and Kristina.
Carmen and her daughters arrived in Noosa at the end of January to study English and experience Australian culture. Carmen studied in our Cambridge Advanced Examination course and then our Cambridge Proficiency Examination class, whilst her daughters attended Peregian Community College.
What did you most enjoy about your studies?
Carmen: The teachers. Rachel, Wendy and Kimm are wonderful teachers who work hard to make their classes interesting and ensure that their students get the skills they need to pass the Cambridge exams. Having such a small group for CPE was wonderful because we developed a ‘camaraderie and trust’ that meant many wonderful discussions.
What are your favourite places in Noosa?
Carmen: Main Beach and Mount Tinbeerwah are our two favourite places. Our favourite restaurant is ‘Ma Mensa” in Hastings Street, because we love Italian food but we also enjoyed the curries at ‘The Magic of India’ in Noosaville.
What would you recommend doing whilst in Noosa?
Carmen: There are so many excursions to do that it is hard to say. The girls loved the ‘Ginger Factory’ and of course ‘Australia Zoo’. We also traveled north to see the turtles hatching and south to the Gold coast to experience the amusement parks there.
