"It was the best thing i ever investigate time and money, i learned so much."

Gabriel Rentsch, student from Switzerland

The class was great, i really liked my teacher Natalie and the lessons are always funny but i learned also so much. The location was perfect, it was a good location for a school and the school was also near to some things, for example near to the beach or to buy something or to a beautiful park. I had 2 weeks english lessons in the morning and surfing lessons in the afternoon and it was great, one thing wasn‘t really nice that on this beach i surfed it had so small waves, it was really bad to surf.
I was there with my mom.

"I saw a wild koala after school."

智子 半田, student from Japan

Noosa is perfect for me.This is big nature and a small town. I went to the beaches, the national park after school almost everyday. At the national park, I saw a wild koala. It was so cute.
My class was good. I think I attended a class with the right level for me. The teachers were good, they were so kind.
Every Monday there is a night party in a pub. And every Tuesday there is a BBQ at the park. It's a good opportunity to make friends with foreigners.
Host family was great. They were very helpful with everything. The house was large and clean.

"The school is very good and the teachers very kind!"

Andrea Elisabeth Goossens, student from Netherlands

I was in Noosa for only 3 weeks. It was too short, however, I learned a lot! The teachers are very sweet and always willing to help. It is a very nice place, the atmosphere is relaxed! The school building is a bit old but sufficient. The location of the school is perfect. There are a lot of shops and restaurants around. They organise nice activities for students. I arranged an apartment myself.
