🌞 It`s a sunny graduation day here at Global Village! 🎓

No matter how nice the weather is, it doesn`t change the fact that we are sad to see these awesome students go...

Mustafa Turkdonmez from Turkey spent 22 weeks with us. His teachers have said he is such a nice guy and such a hard worker, despite working and balancing his family life as well.

Dayeon Kim from Korea spent even longer – 26 weeks - here at GV Victoria! Her teachers loved her and she made lots of friends here. Always good news!

We also want to wish Miho Sunaka the best of luck after 21 weeks here. It’s a long time and we’re glad she enjoyed it!

At Global Village we don`t tolerate bullying of any kind. Thanks to the work of the Pink Shirt Day charity, over 3.1 million dollars has been raised to help those affected by and creating programs to prevent bullying.

A special thanks to our GV staff and Students who really got in the spirit and showed their solidarity with the anti-bullying message.

It`s another exciting Graduation day at Global Village!🎉

Rainy days are not always bad but we feel sad on graduation day when our friends are leaving and it’s raining outside! This week’s grads included:

Shinnosuke Seike from Japan. Shinnosuke was a star here for his 4 weeks. Both his teachers and classmates loved him. He will be returning to Japan to work in a bank but hopes to return to Victoria in the future.

Evelyn Hernandez Mut was also at the GV5 level – she has been here for an impressive 24 weeks and improved a lot as a result. She will be returning to Mexico and university! Best of luck Evelyn!

Eva Gouraud joined us from France for 5 weeks. Her smile was always a bit of sunshine on those rainy winter days! She will be moving to Vancouver to work as an au pair before returning to France. Best wishes Eva!
Shion Takamura has been with us for 5 weeks and graduated at the GV 7 level. She was known for her great sense of styler and award-winning smiles! We wish her the best of luck in her new adventures.

Haeyoung Cho also graduated at the GV 7 level. She is planning on travelling in the United States following graduation. We hope she has a great time!

Also finishing at the GV7/8 level, Loane Currat will be returning to Switzerland, but we will see her back here soon - I think Vancouver Island has made a good impression on her!
