School

Our partner school is located at the very heart of Brisbane. Overlooking the peaceful Anzac square, the language school building is located right opposite the central train station and the main bus lines. The school gives you the use of a multimedia room, a language lab, a DVD room and common rooms where you will be able to meet up with other students, to participate in the "Conversation Club", to surf the Internet for free or to plan your free time by familiarising yourself with the activities programme of the "Boomerang Club" . You will find numerous cafés and restaurants only a stone's throw away from the school, as well as the famous Queen Street Mall district for shopping or going out with your friends.

Accommodation

Host family in Brisbane
Staying with a host family is an excellent way of discovering the Australian lifestyle and will allow you to practise English outside of class. The families are carefully selected by our partner school and are situated at around 30 minutes away from the language school building. You will stay in a single room with half board during the week and full board at weekends, and will share the common rooms with your host family.

Residence in Brisbane (from 18 years)
Our partner school also proposes accommodation in various student residences or youth hostels. Contact us for more information.

Leisure

Thanks to the “Boomerang Club”, our partner school offers you an excellent leisure activities programme. Almost every day of the week you will have the chance to participate in at least one sporting, social or cultural activity, not to mention the weekend excursions and the memorable parties organised by our partner school. Brisbane enjoys an ideal location to head off on the discovery of the east coast, to places such as Noosa, which is only two hours' drive away, Surfers Paradise or Byron Bay, located just to the south of Brisbane.
