Description

We can provide homestay accommodation for 5 students at any one time. If additional accommodation is required, other local families will provide homestay during busy seasons.

There is much in this area that is of educational interest for the overseas visitor. Mount Beauty is a small town in the Victorian Alps of south-eastern Australia. It is situated on the Kiewa River and surrounded by forests, farmlands and mountains. The area is considered to be one of the finest tourist regions in the state of Victoria and along with a range of recreation facilities, it provides the tourist with the opportunity to explore a little of the history of Australia.

In summer the town offers facilities for swimming, fishing and boating while in winter the nearby snow fields of Falls Creek, offer a range of slopes for skiers of all levels, including cross-country skiing. There are all-year-round recreational activities of golf, horse-riding, nature walks, bike riding, flying, parachuting and gliding. All these activities are undertaken in conjunction with English language instruction as required

We offer various programs of language tuition, if desired, and these are conducted on the premises. Language sessions are requested by the hour, for example 5 hours, 10 hours or 15 hours per week.

Highlights

English language programs are designed to meet the specific needs of the students. Short courses include Speaking and Conversational skills, Workplace English, An Introduction to Aviation English, and IELTS preparation.
