Excursions

Excursions are an important part of each English Language student's program.

North Sydney English College runs student excursions every four weeks of the
English Language Program.

Our excursion programs are fun, exciting and educational as they:

• help to build student knowledge of Australia's natural environmen
• help to build student knowledge of Australia's cultural heritage
• to provide opportunities for authentic and meaningful spoken interaction outside the classroom
• to provide opportunities for students to interact with written English in a less familiar context outside the classroom
• Lessons tailored to your language level with worksheets provided before and after visit
