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. Itâs 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 youâll be wearing your uniform most of the time. So, try to bring the basics and donât 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! đŽđšđŠ

Happy New Year, mate! đđđ
As the year comes to an end, letâs take a moment to reflect on the traditions that make New Yearâs Eve in Australia so special.
As the clock strikes midnight to mark New Yearâs Day, fireworks are launched to farewell the old year and to welcome the new year. Public countdowns to New Yearâs 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! đđđ

Did you know that itâs 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 youâre in Australia, donât forget to add some seafood to your Christmas menu! đŠđŠđŠ
Merry Christmas! đđ

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.

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?

It is an official public holiday in every state and territory. With community festivals, concerts and citizenship ceremonies, the day is celebrated in large and small communities and cities around the nation. Australia Day has become the biggest annual civic event in Australia.

High school is all about making good choices. Who to be friends with? What sports to play? What extracurriculars to be involved in? But one of the most important choices that you have to make is which subjects to study.
Choosing the right subjects can play a big role in helping you discover new interests, advance your strengths, prepare for university and pursue specific career paths.
So, focus, analise the subject lines provided, clear all your doubts with your school and make this important decision about what subjects you will be involved with during your High School time. Once youâve done that, just relax and enjoy your new school and friends.

What most students discover on a trip to Australia is that it is a country of vast open spaces and remote wilderness. And because of that, Aussies love to hit the open road and head out into the bush for a few days of camping during the school holidays.
Camping is the best way to immerse yourself in nature. Waking up to the sunrise, listening to kookaburras, hiking in nature, watching the sunset on the beach, gazing at the starry sky and enjoying the clean, pure air are good for the soul and definitely a great reason to go camping.
And stepping out of your tent in the morning to see kangaroos and wallabies hopping around is definitely a lot better than seeing them in a zoo. This is undoubtedly one of the most pleasant experiences that Australia offers to students who decide to study High School abroad.
03/01/2023
Did you know that, according to surveys, 72% of Australians prepare a list of New Year's resolutions? This is equivalent to 14 million people setting goals for the year that is just beginning. Among the most listed goals is the desire to travel overseas.
Making a list of resolutions for the coming year may seem silly to many. But the truth is that only when we have our goals clear, we can achieve them. Many of our students had the goal of studying abroad and it was with commitment and planning that they managed to make this dream come true in 2022!
How is your list of resolutions for 2023? Will this finally be the year to study High School in Australia?
