Host family
So you would like to get to know Australia and more particularly Darwin? Then choose to stay with a host family. They are selected with care by our partner school and are located about 25 minutes from the school itself. You will have your own room and half-board is provided (at breakfast time, you may be expected to serve yourself). This option will allow you to discover the Australian lifestyle and to practise your English daily in a friendly atmosphere.

Australia is bound to be a change of scenery for you, so don’t hesitate to try all the activities offered to you by the “boomerang club”. Sports, of course… football, dancing, volleyball, ping-pong tournaments and fishing trips (among the best in the country), plus there are all the opportunities to get together and make new friends outside of classes: trips to the cinema and BBQs on the beach, pub trivia nights, free concerts, didgeridoo lessons and bushwalking. To discover the country, you can also go on excursions to the Kakadu national park, classified as a UNESCO world heritage site, and to the Lichfield nature reserve for a refreshing swim.
