Happy Christmas
At last it is
getting colder and winter is approaching. It’s time to think about
Christmas. We are planning a dinner for our staff, a special Christmas
lunch for students, a carol singing afternoon, a party for our host
families, a visit to a traditional Christmas pantomime at the local
theatre. Best of all will be the Staff Show when our teachers dress up and
perform sketches and songs for all the students. It should be great fun.
On 11 December
real reindeer from Scotland will be bringing Father Christmas to the town
centre.
Successful Students
This year more of our
students have gone on to higher education.
Yu Sin Park is
following an MA Course in Tourism and Marketing at the University of
Surrey.
Kengo Hashimoto, who
achieved the brilliant result of 8.0 in IELTS, is now studying English at
Oxford Brookes University.
Others are now
working in new jobs as result of studying at Eastbourne School of
English. Hiroko Sakuguchi contacted us recently to tell us that she is a
counsellor at the Berlitz School of Languages in Tokyo.
Autumn in
Kyoto
Setsuko Manabe sent us
a photo of her at a temple in Kyoto. Setsuko and her friend – also called
Setsuko – attended a 50+ course with us this summer.

include it in a future edition of the Newsletter.
