STUDENTS ARRIVALORIENTATION DAYWelcome!

On the first day of school, new students will be

evaluated for level placement and given an overview of

our programs.

From the results of the placement test and oral

evaluation given before the orientation, students are

placed into the appropriate level for them.

OUR SCHEDULE FOR THE FIRST DAYWelcome and registration 9:00.

Placement test: English level evaluation 9:30 10:40.

Coffee break: 10:40 11:00.

Orientation Session: Introduction of staff and information about LSI Brisbane 11:00 11:35

Tour of LSI Brisbane and the city 11:35 12:40.

Standard 20 students will then be free to pursue their own

interests. Their classes will start at 9:00 on Tuesday morning.

Intensive 30 students begin the afternoon portion of their course

at 1:30, finishing at 3:10.

In the classroom, teachers use a communicative approach to

teach English. The students develop language skills which they

can use in the situations they find themselves in while living in

Brisbane.

The entire curriculum is structured to follow a progression from level to level. New skills are introduced, while

existing skills are reinforced.

ARRIVAL AND AIRPORT TRANSFERAll flights to Brisbane land at Brisbane International or Brisbane Domestic Airport.

After exiting the plane, simply follow the signs to Arrivals, where students must present their passport and a

declaration card to an immigration officer. Next, students should proceed to the Baggage Claim Area to pick

up their bags from the baggage carousel corresponding to their flight number. Then they go through

Customs, where the staff check if students have anything to declare. Australian Customs regulations are strict

about food and animal products.

From the airport most students take a booked airport transfer or taxi to reach their host family, residence, or

hotel.

BOOKED AIRPORT TRANSFERIf the student has booked an airport transfer, and LSI has received accurate flight arrival information with the

name of the airline, flight number, and arrival time (at least one week prior to your arrival), LSI will arrange for

the students to be met by a driver. Please advise students to look for the uniformed driver with a welcoming

sign displaying the blue LSI logo and the students name, after they have been through Customs.

If for some reason the student does not see our representative, they should phone 3393 0986 and wait next

to the information desk until they are located.

In case of delayed arrival, please phone +61 (0)7 3393 0986. In case of emergency, please contact an LSI staff

member on +61 (0)405 550 651.

Getting aroundPUBLIC TRANSPORTIn Brisbane there are three main means of public transport, the buses, the trains and the boats (cross-river

ferries and up-river catamarans). The city is divided into zones, and LSI Brisbane is located in Zone 1 in the

centre of the city. Most of our homestays are in Zone 2, although we may place students in Zones 3 & 4 if

there are special requests. It costs AUD$36.80 per week to travel from Zone 2 to the city and return on a

weekly ticket. The single fare is $3.11 using a Go Cardand $4.60 using a paper ticket.

There are no transport concessions available for LSI Brisbane students. Check www.transinfo.qld.gov.aufor

all public transport information in Brisbane.

TAXISTaxis are a very convenient way of traveling, and there are

always taxis waiting outside the Airport Terminal to transport

passengers to their destinations. Students should allow about

AU$60 for the taxi fare to their homestay.

TRAIN SERVICEThere is a train from Brisbane

International Airport to Central Station

in the city, where you will probably

need to change trains or go to a bus

stop. LSI Brisbane does not recommend

coach and bus travel on arrival.

AIRPORT BUSCoachTrans has a coach service from Brisbane Airports to the Transit Centre in the city. Passengers then have

to walk for about thirty minutes to the bus stops to catch a bus to their destination. There are very few buses

at weekends, and LSI Brisbane does not recommend coach and bus travel on arrival.
