What an adventure! Rammy, Lucy, Ian and Amy went sky diving last weekend.  It was great by all accounts and  they would love to try it again.

Julio’s Tasty Treat.

Julio surprised his fellow Pre-Intermediate class mates one day by preparing and cooking a delicious Colombian lunch.  His classmates were so appreciative that they returned the  kind gesture by cooking a Korean meal. It all looks so tempting!

Soccer Rivalry Heats Up

August 20, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Last night students from GV Caloundra exchanged their grammar books with soccer boots to play the Caloundra Soccer team. It was an exciting match with a great display of football athleticism. The end result was a  2-2 draw.  A re-match should be organised to allow our boys to claim the victory they deserve. Well done!

Susie’s surprise visit.

August 20, 2009 · 1 Comment

Susie surprised staff and students by returning to GV for a short visit.  She had been in Cairns for the last five months working on a Banana Plantation. I don’t think Susie is eager to repeat that particular experience again because she said that it was hard work, but it has allowed  her to extend her stay in Australia for another year. Susie went to Cairns with another former student Linsay who is currently still there. They have had so many wonderful experiences since arriving in Australia, scuba diving, rafting and water skiing. In Susie’s case she has even met a new man, Ian, who has accompanied her to Caloundra to visit us.IMG_1583

Tereza takes a class.

August 10, 2009 · Leave a Comment

While Tereza was studying with us last month she was given the opportunity to teach a class in Australia.

Tereza is an English teacher in the Czech Republic so most of her students were also Czech. At GV,  she had a  chance to teach students from many different countries.  Students volunteered to take her class after normal classes finished.  It was a rewarding experience not only for Tereza but for the students also.Picture 004IMG_1571IMG_1570

A big thanks goes to the Intermediate Class who were in charge of the sausage sizzle today.  A valiant effort after a false start – the barbie didn’t have any gas! Thank you to Hazel who came to our rescue and provided us with some more gas.Picture 006Picture 007 Picture 005
