Outings and Social Events

At The Knowledge Workshop we have a social program for our foreign students to help them make the most of their stay while having fun with their co-students and engaging in English.

We have regular day trips to local attractions, activities and points of interest, and unlike most other language schools, we do not make a charge for this service other than a small donation towards costs.

Popular outings include...

- Long Beach tour: shipwreck & pizza

- Visit to the penguins and False Bay coast

- Braai (BBQ) at various scenic locations

- Seal Island boat trip

- Ten pin bowling

- Hiking on Table Mountain

...with countless other possibilities!

Recently we had a great trip to Kalk Bay to explore and have the freshest fish and chips available at Kalky's, in the harbour.

Cape Town Stadium visit

Rowan Minaar, one of our TEFL trainees, organised an outing for the Ikamvalethu football team to visit the Cape Town stadium. This was a great gift for the young players, many of whom had not been near the stadium before.

We were treated to a behind the scenes tour with access to the players changing rooms, the VIP area and even the holding cells!

The infamous Jabulani

It was an inspirational day and a great time was had by all - Thanks Rowan! :)

Teaching Adventures in South Korea

We've received an interesting account of arriving in South Korea to start work as an English teacher for EPIK (English Program In Korea)

Deborah Brown's report is a valuable insight for anyone who is thinking about or actively pursuing teaching English in South Korea - especially if you are not sure what to expect!
