We are very pleased to announce that our first ever Cambridge Proficiency of English CPE course was a success with amazing results!
Woulter Hendriks – A

We also had great results in Cambridge Advanced English CAE and 100% passed the First Certificate in English FCE.
We had a wonderful cooking class with all students making delicious dishes from all over the world including Japanese sushi and curry, Swiss macaroni, French crepes with banana and chocolate and Taiwanese egg soup.
We had a lovely lunch together and ate a lot.

This year we had the First Certificate (FCE) in English class taught by Robin, Cambridge Advanced English (CAE) taught by Frank and Lisa and Cambridge English Proficiency (CPE) taught by Frank and Deborah.
It was a bit windy at Clarke’s however; everybody had a great time with plenty of sausages to go around

Yesterday our two intrepid CPE students were chauffeured to Brisbane for the first ever CPE speaking exam for BBELS. They were quietly confident with the exam.
Yesterday we also had the speaking exams for FCE at the school. The students were nervous however, the examiners were very nice.
Today CAE is doing a filmed mock speaking exams.
Tomorrow is the speaking exams for CAE. We have our fingers crossed that all the Cambridge students will do well.
This Friday we are having a graduation and BBQ spectacular at the Pass to say good luck and goodbye.

In the Elementary class we have students from Spain, Italy, Korea, Switzerland, Japan and Taiwan. What better way to learn about other countries than through their cuisine (style of cooking). The Elementary class got their hands dirty and made some fantastic dishes especially the gyoza that Debby from Taiwan made. The students all spoke English, making it a great day.

BBELS has started an afternoon CPE course for two of our new students. Wouter and Suzanne are two very high level students who want to take both the CAE and the CPE course. In the afternoon they have lessons with Frank, where he teaches them the finer points of the English language. Cambridge English: Proficiency, also known as Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE), is the most advanced exam, for learners who have achieved an extremely high level of skill in the English language. It is recognised by many higher education institutions; you can work at a managerial or professional level or follow a course of academic study at university level.
We are looking forward to offering more CPE courses in the future.

We would like to welcome all our new students from all over the world.
We hope you have a great time studying at BBELS, the weather is getting warmer, the whales are making their long trip back to Antarctica, the water is warm and it is a great time to be studying at BBELS.
It was sad to say goodbye to all our groups. The school seems very quite without the Japanese study tour students around. We were amazed at how good their English was, how fantastic the weather and how much fun all the activites were. There were lots of tears at the end, and that was just the teachers!
We hope to see you again next year.
