Accommodation

Host family
It is definitely the best way to make the most of your language course in Australia. By staying with a family from Sydney, you will get a valuable insight into the daily life of the inhabitants of the city. Communication in English fits in the relaxed setting of family life and you will be able to apply everything you have learnt in class on a daily basis. You will receive half board accommodation in a single room and share the common areas with the members of the host family. The hosts chosen by our partner school are welcoming and friendly and from the first day onwards, they will extend their legendary hospitality to you.

Leisure

You will certainly not get bored in Sydney! Living in this extraordinary city in itself opens plenty of opportunities for going out, practising sport and thus using what you have learnt in class in real life, whether with Australian people or with the other international participants.
Besides, our partner school offers such a wide range of activities that you will be spoilt for choice. Sports lovers will opt for watersports such as scuba diving, surfing or hiking in the rain forest. You will even be offered to do a spot of climbing on harbour Bridge! Together with the other students from the four corners of the globe, you will have the opportunity to take part in activities in local clubs (football, tennis, golf) or to do a thrilling excursion to the Blue Mountains and to the beaches on the east coast of this gigantic country.
