Accomodation

Host family
The best sort of accommodation for immersing yourself in the Australian culture, staying with a host family is also the most economical option. In Australia, and notably in Perth, the kindness of the inhabitants and their easy going nature will put you at ease right away. The host families offer accommodation in individual rooms, and breakfast and dinner are provided daily.

Leisure

The school organises numerous activities, outings and weekend excursions. The Indian Ocean is about 20 minutes from the city, meaning that you can enjoy the beach and practise a wide range of water sports. It is also possible to scuba dive and attain the PADI diploma, or to swim with dolphins. The Aboriginal culture has a strong presence in Perth, and gives an additional dimension to one of the most beautiful corners of the world.
