Description
We have a programme of English and Activities, just for the more mature student over 40 years old. We run four programmes a year, each four weeks long. The first is in January / February, the second in March / April, the third in October / November and the fourth in November / December. Students can also study extra weeks of General English before and after their 40+ course.
The programme has English lessons every morning from 9am to 12 noon. The students join in classes with other international students of all ages from the General English programme. In the afternoons they take part in an Activity Programme for three afternoons, where the activities are sightseeing, wine tasting, bush walking, beach visits, cultural events, farm visits, garden visits etc. The excursions may commence at 1pm or 3pm. There is free time for the other two afternoons. Additional excursions or tuition on these free time afternoons will cost extra.
We hold the course even if there is just one enrollment, however if there are fewer than 6 enrollments, some activities may be held with students who are not aged 40+.
