Life as the principal of a large international language school is very hard; pressure, stress, decisions, problems, to name but a few. Our poor principal Andrew Edwards has had more than his fair share, and added to that he was forced to go to Australia recently for the annual IALC (International Association of Language Centres www.ialc.org ) workshop in Brisbane.
While he was there he attended about 40 meetings with major international agencies from all around the world, (Switzerland, Korea, Italy, Turkey, Peru, Thailand, etc.) He also attended some very interesting and useful professional development seminars and workshops on the subject of the language travel industry. It was a fantastic opportunity to meet and get to know many professionals in the industry and he was delighted to be able to share best practice with some of the world's leading language schools. He told us, when he returned, how proud he was to get such amazing feedback from our partners on how well we as a school are doing.
As you can see from the photos below, life was all work and very little opportunity to see much of the local attractions ;-)
(We understood he was bringing us a koala bear back, but apparently it got lost on the way!)
