Another Epic day for Advantage E/J students on Whistler Mountain

Tuesday, January 11th, 2011

Advantage E/J students were all smiles today, as they went up Whistler Mountain with local pro-snowboarder, Ryan.  They were taken to the best runs and “secret spots” around the hill and were able to spend the day practicing English while having fun. This was the second time this season so far that the crew has gone for a group ride.

AEJ students are in for a special treat as next week they will be heading out with Tribal Ski Team Coach and Director of TMC Freeriderz, Yosuke Henry Hamazaki. Yosuke is a well-respected coach that has worked with a number of the world’s top freestyle skiers including World Cup athletes and Olympic Champions. The students are sure to learn a few techniques but more importantly they are set for another awesome day on the mountains. Have fun everyone!

Halloween Potluck Party

Saturday, October 30th, 2010

November starts off just right, with snow falling right to the base of the mountains. The opening day for the mountain is November 25. The students are awaiting the opening date with eagerness as the snow has arrived earlier than usual this year. We just recently had our annual Advantage Halloween party which was a blast. The potluck dinner and karaoke was 100% fun and lasted well into the autumn night.

Advantage EJ’s annual summer BBQ at the school director’s house and karaoke party was a blast. The potluck feast featured almost every kind of dish including Pat’s cheese cake which was quite popular. The students were also amazed by Dave’s Karaoke skills and the party lasted late into the night.

English lesson and Canadian breakfast a delicious delight!

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Advantage E/J students and staff were welcomed to a hearty Canadian Breakfast at our teacher Pat’s house. Fresh blueberry pancakes topped with maple syrup… It was truly delicious! An English lesson was held separately after everyone’s stomachs were full. It was a wonderful midsummer treat for students at Advantage E/J School. Thanks for the treat!
