program with many opportunities for students to make friends with people from all over the world.

We have regular class excursions. Our students can also attend special weekend trips and

activities.

① Weekly Student Assembly: SIEC has a range of weekly activities conducted every Thursday

between 12:30pm and 01:00pm for around 30 minutes. In this time, teachers give certificates to

graduating students and encourage them to make an English speech in front of all students at

SIEC so that everybody can see how much they have improved their skills at SIEC.

Also, each class prepares a very special activity such as a Play, Quiz Contest, Singing, Dancing

and much more!! Teachers & staff at SIEC give useful information about weekend activities for

students to attend & enjoy.

many grammar lessons together with reading, writing and listening practices following the text

book. However, in the afternoon, after lunch time (14:00 – 15:00) we have a lot of intensive

elective classes such as intensive conversation, grammar, pronunciation and hospitality – how to

write a CV or cover letter to give our students more practice to improve English skills as that is

one of the main reasons for all students coming to Australia.

college, we have a strict student management system. Students must be on time for lessons and

will be given a warning letter if late. Fines are applied if students speak a mother language during
