Year round For Secondary Schools

The Concept

G.E.T Educational Tours, in conjunction with our international partner MMExProM, is offering a unique international student experience. This collaboration offers Australian schools an opportunity to work closely with an Italian school in Italy (scuola superiore), experiencing life as a local Italian student.. Students will attend the Italian school and take part in a school project led by experienced teaching staff.

A suitable school and location is selected by our experienced partners, who are both secondary school teachers in Italy and Australia, and have been organising programs for over 15 years. You will work closely with the Australian based teacher on the theme of the school project. Students will work together as they explore their chosen theme based on your curriculum and CLIL principles.

Students will attend morning group classes with their new Italian friends, speaking Italian and using their knowledge of grammar and vocabulary whilst working on their chosen project. In the afternoons activities are organised with the Italian school. Your new friends will guide you around their town and show you how they live locally.  This creates the opportunity of a continual school partnership -not only can Australian schools visit Italy but they can also arrange to accept Italian students in Australia.

The opportunities are endless!

Please note: students and their Italian counterparts have the opportunity to visit neighbouring cities, museums and attractions or take part in evening activities. These may incur an extra cost for entrances and/or transport.

  • Projects can be tailored for cross curriculum students who may be studying the Italian language as well as Art, History, Religion or Food Technology, working alongside Italian students studying English.
  • Programs can also be based around National Curriculum / VCE Study Designs and also an introduction to the detailed study component of the unit four oral for languages.
  • On request CLIL or multi-faculty conferencing or job shadowing for teachers can be organised.
  • Lunches are not included.
