Our Geap 3 Green class (Ocober-November 2003) have just created their first English blogs, although a few have them in their own country (and language).
I hope that you all enjoy communicating with each other in this new way as well as keeping an English diary or journal. Good effort all of you!

Hi Everyone
I don't know if anyone ever looks at this but I'm doing it mostly for Kiwi in HongKong. She is the best Blogger from Geap that we have ever had. Every so often I look at her blog to keep up with what she has been doing. Here in Adelaide, life continues at PCE with the amount of students always increasing. I still enjoy my work immensely, continually meeting new students from different parts of the world. I wanted to wish everyone a very happy and successful 2009.
The picture is of my little grand-daughter Mimi and myself on Christmas morning. Best wishes to you all!

Gee, I'm sorry that I don't seem to have time to do postings lately.
It been so interesting to read Geap 3 students' blogs. Today our class did Oral Presentations on a personal achievement and it turned out to be a very, very interesting time. I found out that I have a very talented group --- from playing the clarinet, singing in choir(that performed in Vienna, Austria), learning English in England, joining sport clubs, starting a restaurant business from scratch, designing an Art Oasis, Painting etc etc Very talented!
I'll try to put a recent photo of baby Domenique, who is now 5 months old.

Hi to Everyone

I hope that you are all well!
Gee it's been a long time since I blogged but I have been so busy and I have been teaching a class that did not have blogs.

Happily today my new class started blogs so hopefully I will get back into the swing of things. One new student Ismail took to it like a duck to water and even in his first blog had posted many photos of his trip to Morialta Falls. http://blackbird1402.blogspot.com

We are getting used to our new home in Grenfell Street and our new equipment and many new teachers. Also Erica, our Director of Studies is leaving us early in September. It will be sad, as she has been at PCE for a very long time and will be interesting to get used to a new DOS. You definitely don't get bored working here.

Now that I am back, I hope to post some new snaps of my darling little grandaughter Domenique who is nearly 4 months old now.

Hi everyone,
Our class certainly has grown. We now have six new students in our class and they are all very interesting people. You are a great group, especially because you get on so well together and you more senior students are vey welcoming and helpful to the new students. Thank you everyone.

I must tell you what happened last week. While we were setting up for the film, Strictly Ballroom, a former student Gift, came to the door. She had a parcel and " This from Kiwi!" I was sooooooo surprised.
It was a beautiful gift of a blanket that Kiwi, who is back living in Hong Kong, sent to me , for my little grandaughter Domenique. It was such a lovely surprise and so unexpected. Domenique just loved it. Thank you once again Kiwi!

Hi everyone
We had a great party last Friday to celebrate the end of another 5 week block and also to farewell people leaving us, namely Annick and Claire. It's sad to see them go, but it is also the beginning of new adventures for them.
People who could, brought along delicious food, and a good time was had by all. Of course there was too much food!!!
Talking about food --Geap 2 Students have just completed their first Wiki. It's called YummyGeap and it has everyone's favourite recipes from their individual countries, altogether on one site. You can find it at http://yummygeap.wetpaint.com
Also if you wish to contribute another recipe from your country, contact ----Ellie Kim at
potatonurse@hanmail.net and she can arrange it. It will then become a Wiki for all Geap students. Yuri and Lisa have already joined us.
