International House Cape Town welcomes GCU!


  Gavin showing us around International House Cape Town

GCU has teamed up with a world renowned language school in Cape Town to assist our tutors and librarians in teaching skills. Our first meeting was held on Wednesday where we received a warm welcome from the IH staff and teachers. After a cup of tea, a biscuit and a bit of mingling our tour began with Gavin, an incredible guy with a great sense of humor. For me it was inspiring to see how a professional school is set up, their classrooms, their displays and the energy that radiated from everyone in the school. We had the opportunity to hear all about how the school runs and the students they receive from all around the world.

We were also able to give them an idea of GCU and our projects here in Heideveld. The teachers were eager to learn about how we manage the diverse number and abilities of students and the kind of lessons we give, it was comforting to me that we really are going in the right direction. It is a rare opportunity that we are able to share ideas from professionals it felt good to talk to people who have firsthand experience in the teaching field and be given tips on how to improve our teaching and lessons. We are all excited for our relationship with IH Cape Town and the opportunities it will bring to the children in our community and our GCU family.
