School

Since 1996, our partner school in Cairns has been linked to Cairns Business College, an establishment with a good reputation for its high-quality teaching. This tradition of teaching at a high standard is perpetuated and reflected in the excellent results obtained by the students. The teaching is focussed on an overall assimilation of English through the development of the faculties of language and communication with the support of various computer tools. Eurocentres is located in the heart of the exciting city of Cairns. The central train station is 5 minutes' walk away and in order to take one of the numerous buses which serve the city and its suburbs, it will take you only 15 minutes by foot. Our partner school has 20 air-conditioned classrooms, a learning centre, a library, 2 large computer rooms, free Internet access and relaxation areas (student lounge with drinks vending machines, recreation rooms) available to its students. Gardens allow you make the most of the sun between classes. And in order to have something to eat, you can go to the restaurant or café where you can eat organic products.
