It`s Graduation day at Global Village!🎉
Another week and another set of graduates from Global Village!
This week we had to say goodbye to some great students, and some good friends:
Both Luis Ricardo Jimenez Palos and Javier Efren Alvarado spent 24 weeks here and in that time they have both improved their language skills and made lots of friends. We wish them the best of luck as they return to Mexico.
Sakura Yamada graduated from GV7 – our highest class. She is working in Victoria at the moment and is thinking about staying here! We hope her wish comes true and we can enjoy her delicious cooking for many years to come.
Iku Nishiura also is also working here in Victoria. She graduated from GV5 and is a super nice person to know and study with. She will be missed by her teachers and friends.

It`s Graduation day at Global Village!🎉
We have two whole weeks worth of graduates; so lets get into it!
From GV 6 Anais Ribaux was one our grads. She made amazing progress during her time here (23 weeks!). We hope the skills she learned will be useful to her as she goes back to Switzerland.
Maria Del Pueblito Cardenas Mata studied with us for 12 weeks. She will be returning to Mexico and hopefully be back in Canada again in the not too distant future.
Ki-Jung Chang made a great impression here with his positive attitude and infectious smile. I’m sure he will be missed
Francine Fioravanso Tramotina from Brazil left her GV5 class today and will be joining her husband for some travelling before returning to her home country. She was always doing her best to join in here at GV and helped others do the same. She will be missed.
Also from GV5 we have to say goodbye to Seounghyeon Kim from Korea. His teacher said that though he was quiet, he always brought a positive energy to the class and you could tell when he wasn’t there. We all wish him the best!
Brayan Felipe Nieto Alarcon left this week for Seattle where he will be spending a well-deserved break before returning to Colombia. Felipe was here for 24 weeks and graduated at the GV7 level – not easy! But Felipe is a smart guy and I’m sure he will continue to get even better in the future.

It`s Graduation day at Global Village!🎉
As the cold January weather blows outside, we had lots of warm vibes here at GV Victoria. A few of our friends and family are leaving this week and their friends and teachers wished them warm wishes for their future.
Dongmei Jiang is leaving her GV6 class for a break but will likely return to Victoria to pursue a new career in Early Childhood Education. We wish her the best and look forward to welcoming her back to GV Victoria.
Manny Ignacio Daza Galarza has been here for 24 weeks and made lots of friends. He will be returning to Colombia to pursue his dream of studying design. He made lots of friends and we all wish him well.
Jenny Valentina Penuela Gonzalez is also going on to further study – this time at Royal Roads University here in Victoria where she’ll be getting a Master’s degree in Global Management. She was a fantastic student and friend here at GV but we hope that she will drop by once in a while to say hi and catch up with all of us left behind.

Global Village Alumni Spotlight!
This week, we caught up with Juan de Dios, a Global Village Victoria graduate (summer 2023) who is now pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration and Sustainability at Royal Roads University!
He loves the beautiful campus`s supportive environment and ample opportunities for focused study.
Royal Roads is known for its project-based learning; Juan`s experience reflects that. He collaborates with his team on real-world projects with local businesses, honing his presentation skills!
Juan`s Top Tips for Future RRU Students:
- Master Time Management: Weekly deadlines require strong organization, find a balance with your schoolwork. Don`t fall behind in your assignments!
- Sharpen Your Academic Writing: Proficiency in APA referencing is key.
- Boost Your English Skills: All crucial is reading, listening, and speaking.
"The transition from GV to university is challenging, but it prepares you for the real world," says Juan. He emphasizes the importance of being ready for education in a new language and acknowledges the valuable preparation he received at GV.
Thanks, Juan! We wish you continued success in your program and a well-deserved summer break!
