Brisbane City Excursion

AIELC would like to thank all students and staff who attended our recent excursion to Brisbane City on Thursday 28 August 2008.

This exciting day out included a City Cat ferry ride, a visit to New Farm Park, an exciting Spring Fashion Show and even seeing recently returned Australian Olympians, Stephanie Rice and Eamon Sullivan.

We would like to send out a special thank you to Mrs. Barwick who was our special guest on this excursion!

What AIELC students had to say about the Brisbane City Excursion:

Alaa - I like the City Cat. I liked the water.

Asma - I liked the City Cat. It was a good experience. I have never seen a fashion show. It was fun.

Shamaa - I liked seeing Stephanie Rice at Myer and the fashion show was interesting.

Zaina - The City Cat was so nice and relaxing. It was a nice change of routine. I liked seeing the Spring fashions shown at the fashion show. It was nice to see Stephanie Rice.

Nawal - I liked that we all went together on the bus. I wish we had more time at New Farm Park. The fashion show was interesting.

We hope to see you on our next excursion!
