The Social Programme is that golden time on the course when CLAC students can enjoy spending quality time together, have fun, relax and make new friends in this wonderful safe and secure multi-lingual setting, where English is the common language and friendship the common goal….

The exciting range of sports and recreational facilities at Old Buckenham Hall are available exclusively to CLAC during the course. The extensive top-class campus caters for a wide variety of interests from sports and games to drama, art, cookery and many more, or students may simply sit or walk in the beautiful grounds chatting with friends and breathing in the fresh air. There is something for everyone and students have the independence to choose from the different activities on offer each afternoon after classes and at weekends.

Full Day Excursion
Once a week there is a full day excursion. Typically, students visit London and Cambridge. This full day outing allows students to experience some of the magic of these two iconic cities in the UK. Students can choose between sightseeing activities and visits to a museum or place of interest. And of course, there is always some time for shopping too! Some options may have a charge but there will always be a free activity to choose.

All activities are carefully programmed and supervised by our Social Activity Team. Their aim is to give our students the time of their lives, a time to remember forever. The Team never forget the importance of their entertainment programme – that the more engaging and fun the indoor and outdoor activities, the more the students will participate and try new things, discover new skills, celebrate new achievements and become more confident. And just as importantly, a well-planned Social Programme encourages a huge amount of language exchange, so that our students go home speaking English more fluently than they ever realise, and having made lifelong friends.
The CLAC Social Programme is an experience students hold dear in their memories forever…
