🌟Congratulations! 🎉
Shout out to our graduates from April 5th:
🤩 Riho Tanaka is a GV 5 student who has been here for 20 weeks! She is easily recognizable because she is the girl who is always smiling and laughing. We are sad to say goodbye but we know she will be close by as she has a working-holiday visa and works nearby. See you soon Riho!
🤩 Elba Patricia Pardo is one of Simon’s GV 4 students. She comes to Canada regularly to visit her daughter and we are so glad she has spent some of her time with us as well. We hope she will come and study with us again!
🤩 Bohyun Kim is a science teacher back in Korea and has spent 12 weeks here in Canada working on her English. We hope that she will find her instruction here useful in her job and in the future. Thanks for joining us Bohyun!
✨ We at GV Victoria wish you all the best of luck, and please make sure to keep in touch with us!

🤩 Shout out to Emanoel dos Santos Flexa has been with us for seven weeks. Emanoel left Brazil for the first time to come here and increase his English fluency. He has been a great addition to the school and his classes and we will miss him. I hope you have made great memories here Emanoel – we won’t forget you.
We hope you all had as great of a time at GV as we had teaching you!

🥰 Visiting one of our favourite local restaurants, Swans, has been a long-standing GV tradition!
💯 Countless GV Alumni and students have visited here over the years to unwind, enjoy delicious food and drink, laugh with friends - and of course, practice their English skills!
🤔 Do you have a fond memory during a visit to @swansvictoria?
Add it to our comments!

✨ Today we have some graduates that have been here for a long time and as a result, have become part of the fabric that makes GV Victoria such a special place. 💖
----------------
🌟 Victoria Esquer Manzo has been with us for 29 weeks! She started in GV 6 and has finished at our highest level GV8. She is famous not only for being such a nice person and a great friend to many, but because she is Taylor Swift`s biggest fan! We think her time here has been a great experience because she wants to stay here even longer - by going to Camosun college later this year. We wish her the best of luck hope she stays in contact with all the friends she has made.
🌟 Another long time student is Arthur Gomes de Almeida Sampaio. Arthur - like Victoria - started at a lower level but worked hard over 34 weeks to graduate from our advanced class. Arthur will also be staying in Victoria to study... and fish! He will fly back to Brazil before that though and we wish him a restful holiday.
🌟 Byeong Chan Kang is graduating after 8 months here. He is going to be missed because he made a lot of great friends and worked hard in his classes, graduating at the GV6 level. Thanks for choosing GV Chan, all the best for the future!
🌟 Kosei Matsueda and Shusei Hosoda have been here from Japan for only three weeks - but both of them really impressed their teachers with their hard work and maturity. We know you will both keep trying your best - Gambatte!
🤩 Thank you all for making GV such a special place!

🎉 The look of success 💖
Shout out to our amazing GV Alumni for their huge accomplishments!
🤩 Letitia – Although she only joined our afternoon classes, she took advantage of joining almost ALL of our activities! As a result, her friendly manner and outgoing attitude made her a very popular buddy on trips around town – she was always enthusiastic to go out and have fun. Thanks for joining us, Letitia!
🤩Martin has been with us for five weeks. Back in Brazil, he likes to work on cars and repair shoes! All your friends in GV 4 wish you the best - Take Care!

🤔 Did you know? 🤗
Are you a fan of superhero films? Well @royalroadsu was home to some of the filming of X-Men films!
Our students got a chance to visit Royal Roads University (Who are also a Pathway Partner of ours!) to visit the school, learn about the University, and also visit movie filming sites.
✨ Will you be the next GV Superhero?
