The highlight had to be Phil and Matt singing Karaoke! It’s a good thing you are both excellent English teachers!
Thank you to Matt’s Upper Intermediate class for organising the barbecue. Great work!

Juan Pablo Wiesner from Colombia studied at GV Brisbane back in 2006–2007 and has now completed his university studies in Brisbane!
Starting in a low-level General English course, his English started to improve quickly. Soon he was at a solid intermediate level and moving into EAP 2. As Juan’s intention was to study at university, he decided to enter our IELTS program. Due to his hard work, Juan received the IELTS score that he needed and began a Bachelor of Business Banking and Finance at the Queensland University of Technology in 2007.
Juan graduated from QUT in August 2009 but he isn’t stopping there. He will now complete a Masters of Financial Management at the University of Melbourne in February 2010.
Congratulations Juan!
