Activities for students at EF Brisbane!

If you only host one student or host intermittently, it can be hard to keep up with what is happening at the school. At the host gathering last week, it was suggested that if you have a facebook account, that you "like" or become friends with EF Brisbane and the schools fun activities, information talks as well as holidays and happenings will come straight into your news feed!

If you call the front desk at EF, they will be happy to email or post you an activity sheet for the next couple of months so you can encourage your students to go along to things that interest them such as visiting koala's, having fun at Dreamworld or even finding out about working in Australia!

There is so much happening at the school that most student would enjoy and like to get involved in - and if I understand correctly, there is no problem for host families to sign up and go along too - if you want to go with your student or go along as an unpaid staff member for the day.

Have fun with your student and join in some great fun activities!

Happy Birthday EF!

Last Wednesday was EF Brisbane's 8th Birthday!!!

There were about 10 families there for the host family gathering...

And we all got special cup cakes to celebrate!

It was a great afternoon, Good company, great conversation and wonderful hospitality from the EF staff!

We also had BBQ sausages and a chance to chat with the staff at EF and learn a lot more about the school, the students and what happens when the students are at school!

If you haven't been to a host family gathering, make the effort to come to the next one. They are fun, informative, entertaining and very casual!

And the food is always very very good!

Host family gathering now at the School!

I was talking to Aline today and she mentioned the the gathering was going to be at the school nest Wednesday at 2pm - 4pm to make it easier for them, to give those of us who haven't seen the school a chance to have a tour and its was also a back up plan for the rain that's been predicted - again!

It will be good to see you there!

Woolies has 10kg of rice for $10 this week!

Just saw a big pile of white rice in 10kg bags at Woolworths this afternoon for only $10. It was between the fruit section and the meat section - but ask at the information counter if you cant see it. Its probably only going to last a day or so but may be worth it if you go through a lot of rice in your household!
