Reviews by former students who attended a Junior (<18 years) course in Sydney
The interaction was really good, the teachers were very approachable, friendly and helpful, so I was able to learn well straight away. The headmaster even took time for me and knew me. He supported me when I wanted to stay in high school prep and not go to summer school. I made friends straight away. Learning programme very, very good. Classroom very cool. Very well equipped. We had a nice common room. We were always around 15 students and that was great, we supported each other. My teacher was always in a very good mood and enjoyed working with us. I would definitely come back again.
They should motivate the students not to speak in their native language, but to always speak English in class
