Looking for an International Student Program in Brisbane? Our Junior Holiday Program offers engaging English lessons and exciting excursions!
As our January – February Brisbane Primary Holiday Program & Junior Holiday Program comes to an end, we look back on an incredible final week filled with learning, creativity, and unforgettable experiences. From discovering Brisbane’s geography to practicing English through interactive activities, each day was packed with excitement. We explored sports, science, and daily routines, took part in hands-on projects, and even ventured out to exciting attractions like Hijinx Hotel and Dopamine Land. To top it all off, our weekend trip to Paradise Country gave us a taste of Australia’s farm life, making for the perfect grand finale.
Let’s take a closer look at our final week together!

This Monday, we kicked off the week with exciting energy, exploring Brisbane and learning about its geography. We started by locating Brisbane on the map and discovering its unique location along the Brisbane River. We talked about the city’s history, landmarks, and how the river shapes daily life. We took part in fun activities, identifying famous places like South Bank, the Story Bridge, and Brisbane City. We also discussed different ways people travel around the city—by ferry, bus, bike, and even on foot.
In the afternoon, we got creative with a fun craft session, making colourful bracelets. We used beads, threads, and different designs to create unique pieces, expressing our creativity and sharing them with friends. It was a relaxing and enjoyable way to end the day.
Brisbane is a city full of adventure, and we loved learning about its geography through interactive activities. What a fantastic way to start the week.

Today, we focused on daily routines, practicing the present simple tense and learning new vocabulary about our everyday activities. From waking up in the morning to going to bed at night, we explored different actions like brushing our teeth, having breakfast, going to school, and playing with friends. We did fun exercises to reinforce our learning, creating sentences and acting out different parts of the day. It was a great way to build confidence in using English for real-life situations.
In the afternoon, we had a class party. We played games, watched fun videos, and enjoyed delicious snacks together. It was a fantastic way to wrap up the day, celebrating our progress and having a great time with friends.
Learning about daily routines was both educational and fun, making our day full of laughter and teamwork.

Today, we focused on sports, learning new vocabulary and discussing different activities that keep us active and healthy. We talked about our favourite sports, how they are played, and why exercise is important for a healthy lifestyle. We practiced using sports-related words in sentences and had fun conversations about our favourite teams and hobbies. It was a great way to improve our English while sharing our interests. The target grammar was the use of “go, play and do” before sports’ names.
In the afternoon, we had an exciting gaming session. We played video games and had a blast dancing to Just Dance, showing off our best moves and enjoying the music together. It was an energetic and fun-filled day, combining learning with movement and entertainment.

Thursday, we explored the fascinating world of science and biology by learning about the life cycle of the tree frog. We talked about evolution, how living things grow and change, and why each stage of life is important in nature. We practiced new vocabulary related to science, discussing topics like metamorphosis, adaptation, and ecosystems. It was an exciting way to understand how the natural world works.
In the arvo, we visited Hijinx Hotel, a fun game centre with different interactive rooms. We worked together to solve challenges, play games, and have an amazing time exploring all the different activities. It was a fantastic day full of discovery, teamwork, and adventure.
Friday, 14th February 2025:
Friyay! We talked about life experiences and practiced using the present perfect tense. We shared stories about things we have done, places we have visited, and new things we have tried. It was a great way to reflect on our experiences while improving our grammar and vocabulary.
In the afternoon, we visited Dopamine Land, an immersive experience full of lights, colours, and interactive rooms. We explored different sensory activities, played with illusions, and enjoyed a world of creativity and fun. It was the perfect way to end the program—learning, sharing, and making unforgettable memories together.

On Saturday, we had a fantastic trip to Paradise Country, a remarkable place on the Gold Coast filled with farm activities and great food. We got to experience a real farm lifestyle, meeting adorable animals like koalas, dingoes and sheep. We also watched incredible farm shows, including sheep shearing and stock horse demonstrations, which gave us a glimpse into Australia’s rural traditions. The highlight of the day was our delicious lunch. We enjoyed a delightful meal together, relaxing under the shade and taking in the beautiful countryside views. Before heading back, we explored the souvenir shop, picking out little treasures to remember this amazing experience. It was a perfect way to end an adventurous and educational week.
This last week was full of learning, adventure, and fun. From exploring new vocabulary and grammar to engaging in hands-on activities and exciting excursions, each day brought something special. As we say goodbye to this wonderful group, we look forward to welcoming a new group of students in March for another exciting International Student Program in Brisbane, filled with learning, friendships, and unforgettable experiences!
