The 17 classrooms benefit from excellent natural light, as well as a superb view over the Brisbane River and Moreton Bay.

Accommodation

Host family
Thanks to a very good network of host families, students have the opportunity to stay with an Australian family, in a single room with half board provided, and in this way, can discover the Australian culture whilst practising the language in a relaxed and natural manner. The families sometimes welcome other students of a different mother tongue which also allows you to make contacts quickly.

Leisure

Numerous activities are offered as part of the leisure programme. At weekends, a large choice of outings and excursions are proposed to places of interest around Brisbane (Gold Coast, Fraser Island, Sunshine Coast…). Social activities, sports and parties are also frequently available after classes.
