Evan, the man many women have fallen for in the past weeks has finished at GV Caloundra. Also Nanako delivered a delicious cup cake she made and told me that she is going back to Japan on Saturday. We will miss both of you and want to hear from you soon.

First I’d like to tell you that it was a pleasure to study here and also to meet everyone here.
I really enjoyed GV Caloundra.
Caloundra, for me, is like a paradise… I magic place to make friends and relax.
Of course while I was here I improved my English a lot, but also I learned how I can live with different people with different cultures.
I also learned things about myself: to be patient, relax and enjoy life.
I will really miss everyone here!!! My family in Australia!!!
Thanks for everything!!!

Cesar (pictured) worked at a local mushroom farm last Saturday. This is the feedback I received from Wade from Men @ Work
Dear Andy,
Thought you might want to know. I just received excellent feedback from our client about Cesar for work he did for us on Saturday. Said he wants to use him again the next time he needs workers.
I will keep you informed when I will use him again.
Kind regards,
Wade Ambrose

Suguru, from Japan, is in the last week of his Barista course with CADET INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE and has a job placement in the kitchen at the Caloundra RSL Club.
In the picture you can see him in his snappy new uniform. Good luck Suguru!

Last Friday was graduation day for 4 of our students. While we are always sad to see students go, it is particularly sad when we lose people who have been here for a long time. Diana from Colombia and Renat from Russia had been with us for about 30 weeks and were amongst the elders in the GV Caloundra family.
We also said goodbye to Coco from Taiwan and Aki from Japan who were both in Pre Intermediate A Class – the class is not quite the same without Coco’s great smile and Aki’s great enthusiasm.

Picture: Jason, Eva and Ricky
It is always great when former students come “home” to GV Caloundra to visit and tell us what they have been doing.
Today Jason returned after travels in Victoria and South Australia. He leaves for Korea tomorrow and is taking his IELTS test in Seoul on the weekend - best of luck mate!
Eva is back in town, working as a kitchen hand and enjoying the sun.
Ricky is also back and has been working at a local Thai restaurant. He is also planning to return to Korea within a few weeks.

Patty Thomas, who currently teaches Intermediate students, has accepted the position of Senior Teacher at GV Caloundra. She has been offered the position as recognition of the dedication and many skills she brings to GV. Patty’s career spans a number of countries and various teaching positions through Australia. She has taught Upper Intermediate, EAP and IELTS programs at GV and we are happy that she has promised to stay with us for the next year. Her role means that she will also do some of the administration and will take over running the school if Andy is unavailable.
Yesterday the GV staff had a glass of bubbly (champagne) to celebrate her appointment. I hope the students will also congratulate Patty on her promotion.
Well done Patty!
