EDUCATE - A PATHWAY TO SUCCESS
Inspiring English
Students at Avalon College are required to use English the entire day.
A specialised curriculum
The curriculum at Avalon College is designed to meet the needs of our students. In teaching the skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening, our classes have a special focus on the range of text types that are extensively used in Australian schools. Our broad curriculum integrates the teaching of English for mathematics, science, humanities, media and physical education.
Small classes – a distinguishing quality
Our small classes offer students the best possible opportunity to achieve their maximum potential. The development of Individual Learning Plans allows for each student’s progress to be monitored and individual needs met.
Supervised homework
Each weekday students are given homework to be completed during supervised study sessions. Homework reinforces the learning of the day and is vital to maximise the learning experience. Independent study habits are developed and individual assistance is available for each student.
Preparing for school
At Avalon College we support our students as they adjust to the different classroom environment of an Australian school. Our students develop confidence in skills essential for success in Western education such as group work, expressing opinions, promoting independent thinking and actively contributing to class discussions.
Short term study with a difference
Every year we welcome students who attend our short term programs. They participate in all aspects of our curriculum, combining language study with a range of exciting recreational activities. On completion of the program students show significant improvement in their English language and social skills: having made new friends and experienced many aspects of Australian culture and school life.
Outstanding teachers
The teaching staff at Avalon College are experienced and dedicated professionals.

Learning beyond the classroom: Lessons for life
After-school Program
Our students are encouraged to develop skills of teamwork, independence and personal responsibility. Our highly trained staff run the After-school Activities Program involving team building and sports activities, games, dancing, trivia and talent nights and themed dinners. Using English in different social contexts continues the learning of the classroom and reinforces the values of Avalon’s pure English immersion experience.
The Weekend Activities Program
Every weekend, learning moves away from Avalon. Students use English in a range of different social and cultural contexts including shopping trips, zoo visits, barbeques, going to the movies, museums and historic sites. Students experience Australia’s beautiful environment through nature walks, camp programs and beach days.
Afternoon Activities
Students are introduced to Australian sports such as netball and Australian Football.
