The Broad Water Park Land, which is very beautiful and located beside the beach, was packed today by a massive number of Inforum students who were there to have a BBQ party. The organizer of this event was Yasutaka who graduated from the school today, and needless to say, the main person of this party. Some of them enjoyed playing soccer with many kinds of nationality. The BBQ was held with a lot of success. Well done everybody who took part in that.

One of our ex-student, Hide, has got a job! He’s working at a Japanese meal takeaway now. Look at these various kinds of lunch boxes. They are called “BENTO” in Japanese. Some students who tried one greatly got satisfied with them. Not only BENTO, they have spring rolls, meat balls and so on. They are from 50 cents. Everything is really delicious!

They visit our school and sell lunch every Thursday between 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Let’s buy one!

The activity of last week was kangaroo walk in Coombabah. Surprisingly more than 30 people joined it! The bus Inforum students caught was full.  The bus driver and the other passengers were curious about us.

The weather was cloudy but temperature was comfortable for us. We enjoyed 2 hours walk. We could see lots of kangaroos and koalas. The students who saw wild animals for the first time were very excited.

The last activity of the last year was the end of the year party. We went to Broad beach and had a big aussie style BBQ! Lots of students, teachers, homestay parents and their kids got together and enjoyed it. The weather was nice and some students played on the beach.

We ate great hot dogs with some kinds of sausages. Especially girls were into fresh fruits like mangoes, bananas and watermelons. After eating a lot, we played a pulling rope game. The winner of 2011 was…Simon’s team! They seemed to have lots of musculer guys.

On a rainy day, Veronica decided to bake a cake instead of going to the beach. It was a great idea and she was very kind to give us some pieces and we could check the quality of this delicious cake.

The cake  is called The Bored Housewife’s Cake. Veronika is not a housewife yet (and not bored at all) however her future husband will be very lucky having her as his wife if I think about her cooking knowledge.

We wish that she will bake for us again and we can try another delicious cake which will make us happy.

The activity last Friday was a sushi lesson conducted by Diana, who is our accommodation manager at Inforum. The funny thing is Diana is an Australian, but she can make Sushi better and more beautiful than any other students from Japan. Thanks to the dedicated sushi lesson from Diana, all the students who joined the activity could make fantastic sushi by the end of the lesson. Check the photos below and see how the students tried hard to make their own sushi.

*SUSHI….Japanese food made of cold rice and fish which has

             not been cooked (According to CAMBRIDGE LEARNER’S DICTIONALY)

KILLING 2 BIRDS WITH THE ONE STONE ! This means making good use of your time and doing 2 things at the same time.

Our Director (name omitted) was complaining that  his wife was having a hair cut while  HE was still working,BUT a closer look at the photo will confirm that she was both working on a translation with an assistant and getting her hair cut.

The Director  (name omitted) had no further comment.

Our very talented student has a regular line of clients waiting to recieve her slilled hair cuts.

Nice to see we try and keep our students employed!

We headed to Burleigh Heads last Friday to enjoy the beautiful beach and magical views which we saw after heading up the hill next to the ocean. Walking the path in the natural park was wonderful and we could see many kinds of plants, trees, and animals. I will put some photos of the view from the top of the hill so that we can share how good the place was.

I’ve got a one question for every Inforum student. What is a word which ends with VEMBER?? Do you have any idea? I think the word NOVEMBER came to your mind first, didn’t it? but this is not the only word which ends with VEMBER. Well, have you ever heard of this word, MOE-VEMBER?? I think not, many people don’t know what this word means, actually I didn’t know either. This word exists for a charity purpose and its aim is to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and depression in men. The person who registered Movember.com was a man who is called Mo Bros. They grow their moustaches not cutting them during November. This is an interesting charity system, isn’t it? We have one Inforum student who is Mo Bro. Check the photos below and join this charity if you are interested.
