Learning TasksLearning TasksThis is a great chance for your kids to practise English in Australia, where English is the medium of communication.

During the stay in Melbourne, your kids need to use English to talk to others, to play with their Aussie friends, to learn and to solve problems.

There are three language study tasks in this tour.

Task one … Road Signs Hunt

Task two … News Cutting

Task three … Group Project

Writing Journals

• It’s a good way to record some invaluable experience in the study tour by writing journals every day.

• Students can write down what they learn during the lessons in PHPS, what they do with their Aussie friends and their feelings of doing different things.

• They can also record how they improve in using English in the daily life.
