English Language and an Authentic Aussie Lifestyle
After finishing high school in southern Germany, Johannes Mayr headed to Australia to do something out of his “comfort zone”. He’s a big surfing fan, so the Gold Coast was an obvious destination. He has already surfed in France, and after he leaves Australia he’ll be doing the same in South Africa. But before that next adventure, he’s got an English course to finish at The Language Academy in Broadbeach.
"I get to speak English every day, which is better than if I did this course in Germany where I would have four hours of speaking English then switch back to German. Here you can reach a much higher level of progress and the teachers at The Language Academy are so helpful, it’s been a great experience."
It Felt Like Coming Home
Nene Onosa had just finished high school when she left Japan and flew to the Gold Coast earlier this year to enrol at The Language Academy in Broadbeach. In a way, it felt like coming home because she had spent time on the Gold Coast not long ago as an exchange student.
Now Nene has moved back in with her host family and has plans to study interior design. She’ll take a short break after her current course before studying at TAFE's Southport campus and then consider her future options beyond that.
In the meantime, Nene is enjoying the relaxed pace of life that the Gold Coast offers, which is miles away from what she was used to in Tokyo.
Education empowers emerging sports talent
Ironwoman Harriet Brown has been opening up conversations in schools across the Gold Coast around female athlete health through a series of educational sessions to enhance school sporting excellence programs.
Harriet has been educating talented young sports women from Palm Beach Currumbin State High School, Miami State High School and Robina State High School Sports Academy as part of a wider program aimed at delivering an elite athlete curriculum to sporting excellence students.
Her goal from these sessions is to ensure girls who pursue their sporting dreams can better understand their bodies to support their training, performance and recovery.
