Leisure

Thanks to the “Boomerang Club”, our partner school offers an excellent programme of social activities. Almost every day of the week, you will have the chance to participate in at least one sports, social or cultural activity. Among the regular Boomerang Club activities you will find football, visits to the Opera House, dolphin and whale-watching, bush walking and weekend-long excursions to discover an extraordinary region, not forgetting, of course, the memorable parties organised by our partner school!
