COLC Pirates
Coromandel Outdoor Language Centre students did a weekend activity on the 26/02/12, sailing on the ship Windborne. The theme was 'Pirates, it was Yo Ho Ho and a lot of fun (no rum). activity.co.nz
Coromandel Outdoor Language Centre is a small and friendly language school in the beautiful seaside town of Whitianga.
We teach communicative English in a way that makes learning fun. Our teachers extend classroom learning with visits to local businesses, the museum, the information centre, the kindergarten and many other places where students use English in real communication with local people. We believe in Learning by Doing and our Activity Program takes students into new situations where they meet interesting local personalities, learn a variety of skills and try out exciting new activities. We teach English as a second Language, but you will learn much more that that when you spend time with us.
Our classes are small with a maximum of 10 students per class. The minimum age to study at COLC is 16 years and our oldest student so far, an 80 year old, loved doing activities. Students of all ages and nationalities enjoy our 'English only' rule and get to share each other's culture. We can alter your program to meet your needs.
Epic easter
For those who have made that weekend! Set Sails folks and let the madness begin!
