School Excursions

English Afloat



Lessons Afloat has been successfully operating excursions on Sydney Harbour for 29 years.
We have combined our experience in delivering high quality school group excursions with the experience of a fully trained and experienced TESOL teacher to provide "English Afloat". We would like to thank Sydney College of English, AICL, Central College, SELC, ALC, and Chatswood IEC for their input after bringing groups on English Afloat. All were extremely positive and say they will come again.
Groups have their own private ferry and can select a 2 hour or 4 hour excursion.
Excursion times are as follows:
2 hours 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon or 12:15 p.m. – 2:15 p.m.
4 hours 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. (Monday to Friday)
Combinations of different groups e.g. EAP, ELICOS and High School have been successfully achieved
WHAT IS ENGLISH AFLOAT?
English Afloat excursions have been designed by language professionals. The excursions combine English Language lessons with a Sydney Harbour ferry experience on board your own private ferry
Commentary by a Lessons Afloat excursion leader is geared to all language levels and is clearly amplified on a public address system throughout the ferry both inside and outside.
WHERE DO WE GO?
The main SYDNEY HARBOUR area. Pick and drop off at CIRCULAR QUAY.
(Other pick up and drop off points can be organised with advance notice)
Optional stop at Watson’s Bay and ‘Aussie Fish ‘n Chips’ for lunch.
WHAT DO YOU RECEIVE?
Teacher’s Pack includes pre-worksheet, worksheet for ferry excursion and followup worksheet which will be sent to the college prior to the excursion. Worksheets etc. have been designed by fully trained and experienced TESOL teachers and are geared to the four macro skills. Maps will be given to the students by the Lessons Afloat excursion leader on the day.
NOTE: A MINIMUM COST APPLIES, THEREFORE TO KEEP COSTS DOWN AND PROMOTE AN INTERESTING, INTERACTIVE EXCURSION WHY NOT BRING YOUR WHOLE COLLEGE OR ORGANISE TO COMBINE WITH ANOTHER COLLEGE
