At GELI we believe learning English doesn’t stop when students leave the classroom!
We have Activities Officers to provide information on what students can do in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Students can join social and cultural activities, excursions and travel at a discounted cost to students.

* Trips to beautiful beaches and Islands (Surfer’s Paradise, Sunshine Coast, Byron Bay)
