“Most of my friends recommended CCEB to me. Not only the location of the school is convenience, but also the English learning atmosphere is good. The teachers are very friendly. Moreover the 2 Year package of Childhood Education and Care is curriculum is reasonable and tuition is affordable to me. I enjoy the practice course the best. My teacher Caroline taught us a lot of practical skills. Those were useful for my vocational training at the Childcare center. I expect that I can learn more useful practice that can help me working in childcare center better. i am from Shanghai, China. I have a Bachelor degree in Shanghai. When I was in China, I was working in tourism industry I have learnt a lot of Australia through my work, especially the tourist city of Cairns. That started my trip in Australia when I applied the working holiday visa. I have already gotten a casual job as a Assistant Educator in Armadillo Childcare Center which was my workpalce in the first place. I enjoy visiting cafes, hang out with friends, driving to Port Douglas or Palm Cove on my free time. I enjoy my leisurely life so much. I like walking on the beach or Esplanade Lagoon after dinner. Last week, I went to Tolga sunflower farm in Mareeba and experiene the beautiful sunflowers! Cairns has so many beautiful places to visit.”
