St George TAFE Health Expo 2009 raised funds for Aussie Helpers. Pat, Bee, Yun & other students interview Sue Martin, an Aussie helper volunteer.

Listen to the interview. It’s really interesting and an eye opener about one aspect of Australia that many people don’t know.

What is Aussie Helpers? Who are the people working there? Who do they help? Why do those people need help? What is the Australian bush? What is the grapevine? Write a post in your blog about Aussie Helpers.

What do you think? Tell us about it. Let’s talk!

Melanie and her ESOL students had an Easter Egg decoration workshop the week before easter. Some of the students come from Russia and showed everyone how to do it. they had a fantastic time and took home very creative Easter eggs for their children and families.
Some students from AMEP-B, Mouri, Asha and Dina, interviewed Melanie and her students about the event. Listen to their interview here.
