English and activities holiday programme for teenagers in Perth

English classes run Monday to Thursday from nine in the morning until three in the afternoon, in a part of the school set aside for junior students. Classes are taught by high school specialist teachers, use modern classroom technology and are open to students at any level of English, from elementary to advanced. Lessons are student-centred and built around speaking English with classmates from other countries. Friday is a full activity day on the same hours.

The programme fee covers the enrolment fee, tuition, the recreation programme with one full-day activity each week, and homestay accommodation with an Australian host family. Airport pick-up is not part of the fee and is arranged separately on request. Homestay placements are made by the Australian Homestay Network, the provider Phoenix Academy works with, and the school refers every application to them.

Students live with an Australian host family through the Australian Homestay Network (AHN), the homestay provider Phoenix Academy has partnered with. AHN's services include round-the-clock professionally staffed emergency support, insurance, online payment, online orientation training for both student and host, and a professional airport reception. For students under eighteen, homestay is a condition of enrolment unless the student lives with an approved parent or relative, in line with student visa condition 8532. Phoenix Academy can take responsibility for a student's accommodation and welfare through a Confirmation of Appropriate Accommodation and Welfare letter, and the appointed local carer provides day-to-day welfare supervision together with the school.

Every Friday is a full-day excursion, and the afternoon and weekend programme takes students around Perth and Fremantle. Published activities include rock climbing, ten-pin bowling, visits to the Western Australian Museum Boola Bardip and the art gallery, Perth Zoo and Caversham Wildlife Park to meet kangaroos and koalas, AQWA the Aquarium of Western Australia, the Sci-Tech discovery centre, the Perth Mint, Kings Park, Fremantle Prison, the Maritime Museum, the Fremantle Markets, a Perth city tour and trampolining. The school notes that the timetable and the activities can change.

The programme is taught at the Phoenix Academy campus at 223 Vincent Street in West Perth, a short distance from the centre of Perth. Junior students have an area of the school set aside for them, and classrooms are equipped with modern teaching technology. Student services and academic teams are on site, and free confidential counselling and academic support are available to every student at the school.

A holiday programme for teenagers who want to improve their English and see Western Australia at the same time. Mornings are spent in class with students from other countries, afternoons and Fridays exploring Perth and Fremantle, and evenings with an Australian host family. Students can join for a single week or stay for up to four, starting on any Monday within the programme window, which makes it straightforward to fit around a school holiday at home.
