Shane Global
Village- Auckland New Zealand

Auckland
is the largest city in the South Pacific. It rolls over a series of hills
around two beautiful harbours, and has many long and spectacular views.
It's often called the "City of Sails" because of the local
people's passion for yachting. It's also a vibrantly multicultural city, with people from all over the
world and a huge variety of restaurants serving different cuisines. It's
New Zealand's nightlife and shopping capital, and there are always music,
comedy, and other cultural events going on. Yet it is also only hours from
unspoilt beaches and islands rich in vegetation and wildlife, as well as
mountains, ski slopes, and New Zealand's spectacular natural scenery. Beautiful, clean, safe, un-crowded, nuclear-free, unpolluted and
inexpensive - where could be better than New Zealand to study English?

SGV
Auckland is located in an elegant Edwardian building with windows
overlooking Queen Street, the heart of Auckland and the city's main
shopping street. It is just minutes from shops, cafes, restaurants, parks, bus and ferry
terminals, cinemas, museums, universities and other cultural facilities.

your English keeps improving. Self-access study facilities are
available, providing extra materials for listening, reading and
writing. You can spend additional time in the school improving your
English, with friends and teachers close by to help you. You will be

given a certificate when you finish your course.
