For travel within the city we recommend you use public transport, both for cost-saving and for safety. However, if you’d prefer to use another option, please let us know. If you would like to proceed with a booking, please:
- Let us know which option you would like to proceed with. We will send you a formal quote and our company invoice within 24 hours.
- Tell us your preferred commencement date

Requirements
- To help us have enough time to arrange teachers and classrooms, booking and payment are required at least 4 weeks in advance.
- Study Tours can only be arranged in groups. There must be at least 4 students to run a class. The charges will apply depending on the number of students.
- We can also organize the study tour for one individual, but please email us all the details so we can arrange it for you.
- The college can provide accommodation (student lodge, hotels) but this will be subject to availability. Unfortunately, we cannot arrange the ‘home stay’ at this stage. There will be a separate charge for accommodation.
- We recommend you have one coordinator to go with the group to help with the daily routines of students.
- SLS will not be responsible for student’s transportation. Students must be able to travel to SLS each day and pay for their own transportation.
- If your company requires SLS to provide transport, we can also help but at a separate cost.
- The times and venues of afternoon activities are subject to change due to weather conditions and availability.
If you have specific training objectives, please put these in writing so we can customise the course for you. We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
Frequently Asked Questions:
What level is the class?
- The levels of our English class are beginner level. However, at the beginning of each class, our teachers always conduct an Entry Test for the whole class. This means that after the first lessons, the classes will be divided into small groups according to level. That way, your kids will still learn exactly at their own level and progress well.
What age are the kids? Would my kids be too young or too old for the class?
- Children will be from 6 to 12 years old. If more than 6 students enroll, we will do our best to divide the students into 2 classes: one for junior children from 6-9 and one for older children from 10-12. If you have a group of 4 students or above, we can organize a separate group for you, but the cost may be slightly higher.
Do you have activities for the afternoon? What kinds of activities?
- During peak summer months, like January, February, April, July, and August, we will have an ALL-DAY Summer Holiday Package. This means students will have an English class in the morning from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, a 1-hour lunch break in between, and then outdoor activities in the afternoon from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm. In other months of the year, we only run English classes in the morning. However, as long as you have a group of 4 kids, we can organize an afternoon activity for you.
Do you provide homestay accommodation and lunch?
- We don’t provide homestay ourselves, but we work with our partners. So we can refer you to these homestay services, and you can book it by yourself. We also can provide catered lunch per your request.
Can we customise the afternoon activities?
- We provide many fun activities to match the needs of your groups. To name a few, we can show you some beauty spots of Sydney, visit some universities, or participate in some sports activities (mini-golfs, indoor rock climbing). Please email us at enquiries@sydneylanguagesolutions.com.au with your special request, and we can help you.
Do you offer make-up classes?
- We do not offer any make-up classes if your child is absent, but our teachers will review last week’s content. If you attend class and are absent for more than 50% of the course, we can allow your child to join the next available course, but we cannot issue a refund once the course is confirmed.
Can I join the course late?
- Your child can still join the course in the middle of the term and just pay for the remaining weeks. However, we require your child to have at least a 45-minute session with a private tutor [at an extra cost] before they join the course.
Do I have any discounts for siblings/friends/cousins to study together?
- If your child studies with a sibling/friend/cousin, each of them will receive a 5% discount on top of the 10% EARLY BIRD Discount.
Can I use the Creative Kids Voucher?
- Yes, if you are an Australian citizen and have the Creative Kids Voucher, you can redeem it with us to cover a partial fee. When enrolling on our website, please enter your Creative Kids Voucher ID number in the comment section. Use Code CKID to reduce the fee by $50.
When can I receive the EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT?
- If you enroll 2 weeks before the course starts, you will receive an EARLY BIRD discount of 10% off.
What should I bring?
- If you join the morning English class only without the afternoon activities, you don’t need to bring any lunch. They should also bring a bottle of water and a pencil case. If you join the English class with the afternoon activities, you should prepare and bring the following: lunch box, sunscreen lotion, hat, and a lot of water.
What will they learn?
- Our teachers will engage them in fun lessons, play-based activities, singing, story-telling, flashcards, and even videos or cartoons to help them practice the target language and build confidence. There are several ways and resources for kids to learn English (and not necessarily always books and papers), so we will engage all these ways so your kids will have a fun class during holidays, different from their formal schooling.
Do we have a Certificate of Participation for your child?
- Yes, we offer a Certificate of Participation for your child as long as he/she attends at least 70% of the course duration.
