🎇Graduation Day at GV!🎓
🎃🍂Fall has fallen upon us and shorter days and colder temperatures are not far behind. That makes it even harder to say goodbye to our friends returning home after spending a few weeks with us here at GV Victoria.
🎓 Three friends started their studies together here 12 weeks ago: Pietro Mesquita, Pablo Valoy and Luis Martins Miranda. They all came here from Brazil and they are all leaving now to return to high school there. We will miss them – such nice guys!
🎓 Melanie Beaupre will be returning to Quebec after 5 weeks here. Her teacher said she was amazing!
🎓 Daniela Pagliarin and Wolfgang Ziehm will be returning to Europe – Italy and Germany. Have a great trip guys!!
Best wishes to all our grads!

🎇Graduation Day at GV!🎓
🎓 We first want to give a little shout out to our 13 students from Yamanashi Gakuin – For about the past week and a half, the students from this school have been in GV Victoria. We are so happy to have hosted them during this time, and it has been an absolute pleasure having them in class and around the school.
🎓 Mayuka Seki– Mayuka has been with us for a total of six weeks. It was going to be five weeks, but she was having such a good experience that she decided to extend for another week. We admire her dedication to her studies, and appreciate her willingness to participate in after-school activities!
🎓 Nobukatsu Kato – Nobu has been with us for five weeks. It was wonderful having him in class because he interacts so well with anyone who is sitting near him. Nobu enriches the class and elevates the level of learning for anyone who is lucky enough to sit next to him. We hope you come back soon Nobu!
🤔 Word of the Week: Quizzical 🤔
When you have a quizzical look, you`re asking questions without even speaking! 🤨 It means you look puzzled or curious, maybe when your teacher gives you a super tricky idiom! 😵💫
What`s the last thing that made you look quizzical? 🧐 Let us know! 👇

🎇Graduation Day at GV!🎓
This week saw a huge number of students heading on to new adventures. We are always so happy to welcome students here and wish them all well in their future endeavours.😄
🎓 The Maple Plan senior group from Japan. We love it when senior groups come and spend time with us here at GV Victoria – everyone loves them so much and they always have a great time here in the ‘Garden City’. This group spent two weeks with us and we wish them all a safe and enjoyable trip back home to Japan.
🎓 Youn Hoi Kim is another senior who came here on his own…49 weeks ago!! Everyone loves Youn – he always had a smile on his face and was such a pleasure to have in our classes. Best wishes Yun as you start your next adventure!
🎓 Pedro Alberto Ramirez Cabral has been with us for 12 weeks. He will be returning to Mexico soon but will be very missed here. Such a smart and friendly guy!
Happy Canadian Women`s History Month! 🇨🇦📚✨ October is a time for us to celebrate the groundbreaking achievements of women right here in Canada, and we want to shine a light on the incredible female authors whose words have enriched our culture and language.
From the imaginative worlds of Margaret Atwood and the Nobel Prize-winning short stories of Alice Munro, to the beloved classic tales of L.M. Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables is a must!), Canadian women have made a profound impact on literature worldwide. Reading their work is a fantastic way for our students to improve their English skills while connecting with Canadian stories and voices.
Tell us: Which Canadian female author`s book has been your favourite to read? 👇
Shenanigans ✨
Get ready for some playful fun! 😜 This week`s word is Shenanigans! 🎉
It means playful mischief or silly antics. Think of all the harmless pranks and funny moments that make life exciting! 😂 Whether it`s a surprise party, a silly joke with friends, or just some unexpected fun, that`s what we call shenanigans! 🤸♀️
