Avalon College

"Bullying is a serious matter . School should put an eye on it"

"students are not allowed to speak their own languages except for 1 hour free time (which is very little) or else you will be given detentions and warnings. Sometimes even some small details for example tie is not obvious enough to see staffs would give you detention rudely. As a previous student we value free time very much as the 1 hour free time is the only moment we can do our own stuffs and staffs just take it away because of some minor, unimportant mistakes"

"Sincerely thanks for Mr Parkin who is the GM from Avalon College. You organized the amazing team. All teachers are professionalism and friendly. Avalon College is a nice and pretty boarding school. Due to COVID-19 pandemic situation, Avalon College can provide safe environment for overseas students for learning English. My daughter, Jenny was graduated successfully in July 2022. She improved her English language. Except the English language, she can build up her confidence to speak English with expats and knows more Australian culture through different outdoor activities. I would like to deeply thanks for all of teachers, specially thanks for: • Ms Newmen – Art teacher, Jenny feels excited and expected every time to attend the class of art. Except art, Ms Newmen is a pet lover who like to walk the dogs with students, therefore she spent a lot of time to chit chat with students and to reduce their homesick. • Mr Paul – Sports teacher, he keeps encouraging Jenny to join any sports as her character is shy. Therefore, she learnt more social skills to make some friends from playing badminton, footy, tennis, bowling and spotlight, etc. She had so much fun of spotlight. • Mrs Elakis provides more considerate advices to me and valuable solutions to improve Jenny’s English language. Jenny has good and warm memories from Avalon College. I strongly recommended the Avalon College."

"I’ve been successfully graduated from Avalon College fat the end of 2013 and it was one of my best and precious experience that I had. Differently from other language school, Avalon College not only improved my English skills, more importantly it let me know a Australian culture. Like others, I couldn’t understand why I need to run hundreds of miles, and why the staffs keep saying ‘manners!’ BUT after I went to my high school which is fully locals, I realized there was no trouble for me to join them.Various activities that Avalon offers will not be offered in other language school. Every staffs not only taught me the knowledge but more like a social skills. Of course it is a bit annoying that I couldn’t speak my native language, oppositely my English skill promoted soooo fast! It is the whole point for a language school! For living part, IT IS ENOUGH SHOWER IN 5MINS!! Melbourne has water-deficient, so please understand it. And it is very common! I didn’t have problem with that! I did a lot detentions as well but normally the detentions are houseworks, we Just helpers. I received real friends here, learnt knowledge and culture here, and had a wonderful, unforgettable experience here."

"Actrilly this school is not so bad, but just too strict for students, if you are first here, you will fill very lonely.But actually, if you stay here for few days everything will be OK, you will make many friends from everywhere, and you will become focus on your study. It is a good place for you to increase your English skills."
