LAL Cape Town moved to bigger and better premises!

South Africa will get more and more attention worldwide leading up to the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup and the country is getting ready for the increasing flow of visitors. Our school in Cape Town is already prepared for this event – the move to newer and more modern premises is now completed. Karl Ruetti, Managing Director of LAL Cape Town: “We have been in the new building for a good month now. Everybody has settled in and the students very much enjoy the possibility of having their accommodation on-site. Free WIFI is available throughout the school and the students can choose between a great variety of lunches in the school cafeteria. There are many shops and restaurants in the neighbourhood and the famous boardwalk can be reached within 3 minutes by foot.”

students at the opening party
the fabulous cake...

LAL’s Managing Director Peter Cassalette attended the grand opening party on April 25: „We have been looking for an even better building for our Cape Town school and residence for a while and have now found the truly perfect new home, on the site of a long-established lodge. The location and furnishing are excellent and language students from all over the world will feel welcome in this cozy atmosphere. The opening party was a great success. In addition to many students a number of special guests were invited. As many international agents attended the Ialc workshop that opened its doors just a day later many of our partners many took the opportunity to drop by and get to know our new school premises personally. A BBQ, some local wine and a DJ made sure that the party did not end until the early morning hours. During the evening the management officially opened the school with a short speech. This increase in capacity is our answer to the groping demand for language travel in South Africa and we are confident that our students will be comfortable on our new premises.”

LAL Torbay's student magazine StopPress now online

StopPress is the monthly magazine produced by LAL Torbay for our students. Each edition of StopPress contains a mix of articles which are designed to inform and entertain. Each edition features a guide to somewhere our students can visit, either the life story of a famous Briton or an interview with one of our staff, and a mix of articles about British traditions, recipes, puzzles, language games and other items we hope will be of interest; although our audience is mainly our students, we hope that we can dig up the odd nugget of information previously unknown to our staff and host families too. We also publish news from LAL Torbay and our sister schools, and a guide to events in Torbay for the coming month. Details of the current edition are now also available online and former editions can be downloaded in pdf format in the Archive section.

For more information on LAL Torbay please do not hesitate to contact Dean Jones.

Beautiful south west of England

The south west of England offers international students awesome scenery, great beaches and lots of activities - the perfect environment for a successful language holiday.
