Courses will be conducted at Leeming Senior High School from 18 to 25 January, 2017. Early Bird enrolment discount of 10% before Friday 19 December, 2016. Contact Dr Robert Hallam at Master Mind Australia on 9486 1377, www.mastermindaustralia.com.au.

Italian Assistant Host Families for 2017 Hosting an Italian assistant provides students with the opportunity to widen their knowledge of the Italian language, culture and traditions. The Italian assistant is a university student from Italy, and the minimum duration for their stay is 11 weeks, which can be shared between two families. Host families provide free accommodation, collect and return the assistant to the airport; assist in locating and accessing day-to-day services and show the assistant some of the sights of Perth and its surroundings. The assistant is expected to help around the home for four hours a week with duties such as babysitting, cooking, tutoring of the host families’ children, gardening, etc.

If you are interested in being a host, please contact silviar@cbcfremantle.wa.edu.au.
