Wow - It's cold...

A very cold month, this one... We've been having to work very hard to keep warm. So what have we been doing?

We've put together lots of new courses for 2009, English + surfing, horse riding, scuba diving, moutain climbing, hill walking, cooking, windsurfing and on and on and on and on. Ok, I'm lying it wasn't THAT much hard work. What we did was to contact local people around Dun Laoghaire that offer these services and we asked them to look after Annalivia Students. The said yes and we stuck them up on the website. Easy!

We've also been working hard on our social programme and Diane has put together a 6 month calendar, which, we've put online and that did take some time to organise and work out. Great programme though!

We've also put a calender up pf our free classes and workshops so that you can decide in advance which classes you'd like to attend. BUT WAIT! Before we start getting inundated with e-mails of enquiries - these classes are only for students that are registered in the school as full or part time students. Unfortunately these classes fill up VERY fast and we have to give preference to our current students.

We're also got our TEFL/CELT Scholarship up and running in association with SPPD who do amazing work in Tamil Nadu, India. We're VERY happy to be able to support them and have organised an English programme for them. Now we just need the Volunteer English Teachers. Do you have what it takes? CLICK HERE

What else? We've taken down the Christmas decorations, got rid of the horrible sweet machine that keeps stealing students money, got a new Coffee Machine, sent out some newsletters, watered the plants and went for a hair cut.

Not a bad start to the year...
