EC Cape Town English Language School

Danica

EC Cape Town is conveniently located in the heart of the city, with beautiful Table Mountain as the backdrop; it is a pulsating and professional school with animated colleagues and students from all over the world. I’ve been working here for eight months and it’s been both gruelling and very exciting!

EC is like a well-oiled machine that operates smoothly and effectively and I am pleased to be part of the team. The efficiency of the administration staff is remarkable; from student affairs and academics to staff interaction and renovations! Our administration staff is doing an outstanding job of making things happen and keeping the school trendy and professional. Our DOS, Nicoletta Di Gia, is dynamic and hardworking. She is an excellent leader and visionary, transparent and approachable and she is always encouraging and challenging us teachers. I am confident and comfortable in her presence and it is great working with her.

The rest of my colleagues are a fun and lively mixture of different cultures, personalities and characteristics. Comic relief is guaranteed upon entering our staff room! Apart from cracking jokes, we are always eager to help each other, offer advice or share lessons. We all get along well and it creates a warm and friendly working environment.

The other noteworthy aspect of working at EC, is the fact that one is continuously surrounded by a combination of different nationalities. I enjoy working with and getting to know the students from all over the world. I’ve met wonderful people in these past few months and with the constant influx of new students classes are always interesting and fresh.

Professionally I’ve grown a lot at EC by attending various workshops and learning from other teachers. I am constantly challenged and inspired to learn and further develop various skills and grow in understanding and knowledge.  I am proud to be working at a school as professional and as vibrant as EC Cape Town.

EC Cape Town recently celebrated its birthday.  The festivities included a braai which is the word used in South Africa for a barbecue and plenty of time out in the sun with family and friends. For a short time learning English was put on the back burner while eating and drinking in true South African style was at the forefront of the festivities!!

Some students recently hired a car and drove to the wilderness area of the Cederberg - about two hours north of Cape Town.  Here you can see fabulous Bushman/San rock paintings, wild flowers in August and September and fabulous wild scenery.  The area is well known for its wild flower displays which are quite breathtaking and bring visitors  to the area from all over the world.

See for yourself what the area has to offer!!!!

The Cafe  on the ground floor of the school has recently undergone some huge refurbishment work and on 7th August there was a grand opening with wine and food to celebrate. Students and staff were invited to toast the new cafe called

We have now added another 12 computers to the number for students’ use in EC Cape Town.  These are located in the new SAC area on the first floor right next door to the library. You should try them out for yourselves.

A group of EC Cape Town students recently went on a 4 day safari up the world famous Garden Route.  Apart from spectacular scenery they were able to see and do things that most people only dream of!!!  They first went to Outdshoorn which is the centre of the world’s  ostrich industry.  Some even tried Ostrich riding and some went to the nearby Cango caves.   From there they went on a safari and saw some of Africs’s famous animals including lions.  They also visited Knysna elephant park - home to orphaned and abandoned elephants. Canoeing was also included on their trip and the highlight of the trip was a bungey from the Blaukrans bridge - the highest bungey in the world at 216 metres. Throwing yourself off a bridge into a huge abyss is not for the faint hearted.  Some loved it and some??????  Well at least it is something you can tick off  on ‘your life’s to do list’!!!!!!azzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
