Hey everyone! We are very excited that more High School students will be soon heading to Australia and we wanted to share some tips on what to pack.

First things first, make sure you bring a positive attitude! Being proactive, flexible, and open to new experiences (including food) will make your program remarkable. It’s also important to respect new cultures and use words like please and thank you.

When it comes to packing your suitcase, keep in mind that you’ll be wearing your uniform most of the time. So, try to bring the basics and don’t overpack. You can always buy a few things here and avoid excess luggage when you return.

Are you excited? So are we! Have a great trip! 🌴🐨🦘

Happy New Year, mate! 🎉🎉🎉

As the year comes to an end, let’s take a moment to reflect on the traditions that make New Year’s Eve in Australia so special.

As the clock strikes midnight to mark New Year’s Day, fireworks are launched to farewell the old year and to welcome the new year. Public countdowns to New Year’s Day are made at large events in major cities, such as Sydney, and are often televised so those at home can join in the celebrations. On January 1st, many people have picnics and camp out on the beach, while others hold special parties or barbecues at their own homes to celebrate the year that is just starting.

Regardless of your New Year tradition, we wish you a happy and prosperous New Year! 🎊🎊🎊

Did you know that it’s a tradition in Australia to have seafood on Christmas day? This is because Christmas falls in the middle of summer in Australia, and seafood is a popular choice for a light and refreshing meal. Prawns, oysters, and lobster are some of the seafood delicacies that Australians enjoy during Christmas.

So, if you’re in Australia, don’t forget to add some seafood to your Christmas menu! 🦐🦞🦀

Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🎁

Do you know what Vegemite is? It's a dark brown spread made from yeast extract and various spices. It's very popular in Australia, where people eat it on toast, sandwiches, crackers and even in soups. Vegemite has a strong and salty flavour that some people love and some people hate. It's rich in B vitamins and has no added sugar or fat. Have you ever tried Vegemite? If you're staying with a host family, they've probably already made you taste it, haven’t they?

Have you tried callisthenics yet? It's a great way to get fit and strong without any equipment. You can do it anywhere, anytime, and it's super fun. Callisthenics is all about using your own bodyweight to perform exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, squats, dips, and more. It's very popular with students in Australia who perform it with friends at some amazing outdoor spots while enjoying the scenery. It’s a lot of fun and it’s free! Give it a go and let us know what you think.

Hey, sports fans! Have you ever watched Australian football? It's one of the most exciting and unique sports in the world! Australian football is a fast-paced game that combines elements of rugby, soccer, and basketball. It's played on a large oval field with 18 players on each team. The goal is to kick the ball through the four posts at either end of the field. Sounds simple, right? Well, not quite. There are no offside rules, no timeouts, and no helmets or pads. The players can run, kick, handball, tackle, and bounce the ball as they try to score. It's a thrilling spectacle that will keep you on the edge of your seat! See? High School in Australia can be much more than studying. Send us a message and learn more.

Did you know that the Labour Day is a day to celebrate workers and their rights? It started in the 1850s when workers wanted to work only eight hours a day instead of 10 or 12. They went on strike and won their demand. The first Labour Day parade was in Melbourne in 1856. Now Labour Day is a public holiday in all states and territories, but on different dates.

In Queensland, it's celebrated on 1st May. Some people use it to have fun with their family and friends, while others join marches and rallies to support workers' causes. What about you? What are your plans for this public holiday?
