Global Village Sunshine Coast

Pedro from the Upper Intermediate class is organiszing a Ping Pong (Table Tennis) Competition for all students next week. The competition will culminate on Friday, 2 January and generous prizes are offered for the winners.

Everyone had a great time buying presents for other students and teachers and then giving them annonymously to the lucky recipents. Popular giftsincluded wine, chocolates and Australiana.

On Christmas Eve, 24 December, GV Caloundra students will put down their pens after morning classes to participate in our annual Christmas party.

We will have food, drink, performances by some of the students and will welcome some past students to enjoy the festivities.

There will also be a SECRET SANTA. Each student and teacher has secretly chosen another student to buy an inexpensive present for. On Wednesday afternoon the students and staff will receive these mystery presents. Lotts of fun for everyone.

Finally Merry Christmas from the staff of GV Caloundra.

Despite the bravest and toughest performance by the Caloundra Crocs, the Noosa Knights got up to win the Global Village Tri-School Shield last Friday.

The atmosphere was fantastic.  Everyone was in high spirits, most of the students turned out to play, cheer or volunteer. The students from Noosa and Brisbane were welcomed with open arms, particularly ex-Caloundra students, Renat and Risa.

 Thank you to Crocs fans who went crazy singing the Croc’s song and also for doing (and teaching) some great Colombian chants to cheer our team on.

Thanks also to the many students and teachers who volunteered to cook, clean, carry and make other students welcome.

Thanks also to Chris McCormack, from the local soccer league, for his assistance and for making the field and change rooms available. Chris is currently looking for soccer players for the local league. Please see me if you are interested in playing with Aussies in this local competition and I will put you in contact with Chris.

Finally thanks to Viorel, a CADET student, who umpired the first game and the second half of the the final game.
