Hello everyone, well here we are at the end of our first year as a school teaching the Callan Method. It has been a great year and we have made some good friends along the way. So thanks to everyone who has helped to make our school successful. Don’t forget to check out our great specials that are part of our celebrations. And a big thank-you to all the teachers who have made JEC what it is today. John

This month as part of our Birthday celebrations we have decided to have an international day to introduce our school and the Callan method to new students. It will be held on the 16th of February and we would like our students to bring along their housemates and friends to our school to meet the staff and the teachers. We will be providing snacks and also giving some demonstration lessons. If a student enrols because of this then they will receive a discount on their course fees, and also the student who invited them will receive $100 CASHBACK!
So please invite your housemates and friends and come along to have a good time and to help us celebrate our birthday.
The party will begin at 4pm and people are welcome to bring along their own alcohol

Study Tips
With difficult sounds try to use your tongue to make bigger actions, this will help your pronunciation and also help to make your tongue stronger. As you improve you will learn that you can make the same sounds using smaller actions, but to begin it is good exercise!

The Wizard of Oz By L. Frank Baum.
This book was made into one of the most famous movies of all time. The book is a story about how everybody can be special and how if you believe in yourself then you can do anything. This is a good moral tale that has a message for everybody. It is also interesting to see how it is different to the film.

Our Christmas party was a great success, it was held at the Angel Hotel on the last day of term before Christmas, we had asked people to get dressed up for the occasion, and I am pleased to say that everybody made an effort and we all had a great time. We presented Angela with a bunch of flowers and a bottle of wine as it was to be her last pub night with us before she moved to Brisbane. We also had a raffle, the main prize which was a months tuition in the evening class was won by Tsutomu Aoki. So well done Tom and I hope that everyone that was there enjoyed it as much as I did.
