New Yoga classes



YOGA
New activity at PGIC
(free for all students)



Once a session (Week 4 Monday) PGIC now offers a free Yoga session to all its students.
Come and join in at lunch time. There are two sessions available so that no one misses out.
After a short walk to a nearby park everyone was able to relax with Yoga exercises.




All students are invited, even if you have never tried Yoga before.
After a long day studying hard, its a great feeling to go outside, breathe the fresh air and stretch.






A great way to stay fresh and relaxed in Week 4.

Backroads Tour Winners



http://www.backroads-touring.com.au/

Recently our friends at Backroads Touring were kind enough to donate 2 free tours as part of a PGIC competition. Two students were able to win trips to BYRON BAY and STRADBROKE ISLAND.

Backroads and PGIC have worked together for many years now, and have been such an important part of our students' time in Australia. The company specialises in taking international students to some of the most beautiful regions in south-east Queensland; from the coastal and island destinations of Byron Bay, Gold Coast, Noosa & Stradbroke Island, to the picturesque hinterland of the Sunshine Coast, Springbrook National Park and Mount Tamborine.
All tickets sold at PGIC are student prices. Each trip has great value with experienced and fun tour guides. Backroads also provides you with free time away from the group to do your own thing and explore a little. Most day tours at Backroads can be bought for $50-$55.

We recommend all of these trips for having fun, seeing amazing new famous places and getting some great photos and even better memories. You can find out more for yourself by checking out http://www.backroads-touring.com.au/
or asking Gareth and the CP's at the Activities Desk for some brochures containing all the the info you need to know...
THANK YOU Backroads for supplying us with such great trips all over Queensland.


Wan-Shu Chiang from Simon's VET class won herself a free trip to the lovely Byron Bay, while Emma from Naomi's class booked herself a trip onboard a boat destined for Stradbroke Island.

Congratulations guys!












XXXX Brewery Tour Photos

The recent XXXX Brewery Tour was a massive success - with only 15 places available on the tour, the interest in the activity was overwhelming. Unfortunately, not everybody could join up this time, however we now know how popular this is, and will attempt to get as many students as possible to join us next month.

Conversation Partners John and Jesse W played host to the group of students eager to learn the history of the Brewery (and eager to do some tasting). Check out the fun times below - and remember, if you ARE interested in joining this tour next month, let Gareth at the Activities Desk know...
