Sample Timetable

SINGLE SHIFT!
Unlike many other schools, which run two or even three shifts a day, SELC is still a single shift school. This means students can study and use the school’s facilities all day and enjoy the unique personalised atmosphere that this timetable allows.

OPTIONAL CONVERSATION CLUB!
This optional conversation club session will be offered to all full-time students twice per week. This afternoon club will give students the opportunity to extend and practice their English skills with different teachers and make friends with students from other classes.

FRIDAY ACTIVITIES
SELC re-introduces the popular ‘social and sporting’ activities on Friday afternoon. Teachers will lead a variety of regular events to provide our students with the opportunity to experience Australian life and practice their English skills in a friendly and informal environment.
